Author Biography: Daniel Defoe
Daniel Defoe, born in London in 1660, witnessed both the Great Plague of 1665 and the Great Fire of 1666. His satirical writings brought him into frequent conflict with the authorities, and the outrage resulting from his pamphlet The Shortest Way With Dissenters had him fired, imprisoned, and pilloried. Defoe's most famous works are Robinson Crusoe and Moll Flanders.
Book Synopsis
Moll Flanders by Daniel Defoe is a picaresque, adventure-filled life story of a tenacious, smart, beautiful, and charismatic woman who aspires to be a lady but who begins her life as the daughter of a convict in Newgate Prison.
