Nicola Lacey From Moll Flanders to Tess of the D’Urbervilles From Moll Flanders to Tess of the D’Urbervilles: Women, Autonomy and Criminal Responsibility in Eighteenth and Nineteenth Century England Nicola Lacey∗ Abstract: In the early 18th Century, Daniel Defoe found it natural to write a novel whose heroine was a sexually adventurous, socially marginal property offender. Only half a century later, this would have been next to unthinkable. In this paper, the disappearance of Moll Flanders, and her supercession in the annals of literary female offenders by heroines like Tess of the d’Urbervilles, serves as a metaphor for fundamental changes in ideas of selfhood, gender and social order in 18th and 19th Century England. Drawing on law, literature, philosophy and social history, I argue that these broad changes underpinned a radical shift in mechanisms of responsibility-attribution, with decisive implications for the criminalisation of women.

The author is here supposed to be writing her own history, and in the very beginning of her account she gives the reasons why she thinks fit to conceal her true name, after which there is no occasion to say any more about that.

  • The Feminist Thoughts of Moll Flanders in Moll Flanders
    Journal of Literature and Art Studies, March 2015, Vol. 5, No. 3, 177-180 doi: 10.17265/2159-5836/2015.03.003 D DAVID PUBLISHING The Feminist Thoughts of Moll Flanders in Moll Flanders LIU Xi, MA Wen-ying Changchun University, Changchun, China Moll Flanders is one of Daniel Defoe’s masterpieces. The protagonist—Moll Flanders is a female character from lower class that Daniel Defoe first depicted in his novel. The image of Moll Flanders has attracted the attention of many critics since it was created. Critics viewed her as a “whore”, because she had been married for five times in the comparatively conservative society. This paper attempts to analyze the feminist thoughts of the protagonist—Moll Flanders and makes an exploration upon Moll Flanders’ fate from the perspective of feminism so as to encourage females to pursue whatever they want in order to acquire equal rights with men. Keywords: feminism, resistance, equality, patriarchal society, pursuit Introduction Moll Flanders is one of the masterpieces written by Daniel Defoe (1660-1731), the founder of the realistic novel. Compared with the contemporary writer, Defoe runs in front of the times by his female consciousness to protect women’s rights representatively at early times in England. In Moll Flanders, Daniel Defoe portrayed an image of a woman named Moll Flanders. She was born in Newgate prison because her mother was a thief. Since her birth, she lost her parents and was brought up in an orphanage. Under the pressure of making a living, she got married for five times and she even gave up her self-esteem to be a mistress.

  • DAVID FULTON a Holiday from High Tone
    EnterText 1.2 DAVID FULTON A Holiday from High Tone: Politics and Genre in Andrew Davies’s Adaptation of Daniel Defoe’s Moll Flanders When Granada commissioned Andrew Davies to adapt Moll Flanders, they were consciously engaging in an act of TV politics, designed to counter recent BBC successes.1 That latter organisation had long stood accused of reneging on its public- service obligations and, in an attempt to compete for audience figures with ITV, of dumbing down its programmes. One of its responses was to reassert its commitment to David Fulton: A Holiday from High Tone 132 EnterText 1.2 literary culture and it did this primarily by revamping a genre that had served it well in the 1960s: the classic serial. Black-and-white was to be replaced by colour, unconvincing studio sets by outside locations, shot according to the big-budget production values of cinema, and self-financed serials by ones co-funded by foreign— usually American—TV companies. The first of the new brand of adaptations to catch the popular imagination was Dennis Potter’s version of Thomas Hardy’s Mayor of Casterbridge (1978), filmed on location in Corfe Castle for the then-massive TV budget of over half a million pounds and starring Alan Bates as the Lear-like protagonist.2 However, this popular success was itself eclipsed by two BBC adaptations of the mid- 1990s—of George Eliot’s Middlemarch (1994) and, pre-eminently, Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice (1995). The romance of Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet gained such currency it found its way into the tabloids, especially after it was rumoured the actors playing the parts, Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle had themselves begun an affair during the serial’s shooting.

  • 1 Compare and Contrast the Importance of Female Morality In
    Compare and contrast the importance of female morality in Daniel Defoe’s 1722 novel Moll Flanders and Middlemarch by George Eliot, 1871. Examine the view that church, state and “men make the moral code and they expect women to accept it.”(3) Emmeline Pankhurst Throughout Daniel Defoe’s Moll Flanders (1722) and George Eliot’s Middlemarch (1871), female morality and its cultural importance in dictating the behaviour of the characters is a major theme which features continually. Emmeline Pankhurst’s statement “men make the moral code and they expect women to accept it” (3) also plays a relevant role in both texts and expresses a historic social standard for women; unchanging between these periods. Whether it is conveyed through religious influence, class stratification or male power in business and marriage, the rigid female moral code described in both novels has been created by these factors. Although writing a hundred years apart, Defoe’s and Eliot’s description of women’s moral behaviour and position in society is surprisingly consistent, but the characters they use to describe moral aspects of life are very different. It could be argued both authors allow their protagonists, Moll and Dorothea, to attempt to escape society’s expectation of female behaviour but they choose to introduce the struggle of female morality in contrasting manners. From the beginning of Middlemarch, religious vigour and moral virtues are deeply rooted in the character of Dorothea and influence her conduct in many ways. She is initially shown to have “a pure beauty supported by her plain dressing and garments” perhaps resembling “the Blessed Virgin” (4).
