Alternate cover edition of ISBN 9781853260735.The Fortunes & Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders (aka Moll Flanders) is a novel by Daniel Defoe, first published in 1722. It purports to be the true account of the life of the eponymous Moll, detailing her exploits from birth until old age.By 1721, Defoe had become a recognised novelist, with the success of Robinson Crusoe in 1719. His political work was tapering off at this point, due to the fall of both Whig and Tory party leaders with whom he had been associated (Robert Walpole was beginning his rise). Defoe was never fully at home with the Walpole group. Defoes Whig views are nevertheless evident in the story of Moll. The novels full title gives some insight into this and the outline of the plot: The Fortunes & Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders, &c.
