Résumé
Born in Newgate prison and abandoned six months later, Moll's drive to find and hold on to a secure place in society propels her through incest, adultery, bigamy, prostitution and a resourceful career as a thief ('the greatest Artist of my time') before she is apprehended and returned to Newgate.If Moll Flanders is on one level a Puritan's tale of sin and repentance, through self-made, self-reliant Moll its rich subtext conveys all the paradoxes and amoralities of the struggle for property and power in Defoe's newly individualistic society.
Auteur
-
Auteur de récits, d'essais, de pamphlets, Daniel Defoe (1660-1731) s'inspire, pour écrire Robinson Crusoé (1719), d'un fait divers réel. Ce roman de commande, oeuvre « alimentaire » entreprise pour doter ses filles, devait pourtant assurer l'immortalité de son auteur.
