The recent adaptation of Moll Flanders for Masterpiece Theater is a book-lover's dream: the dialogue and scene arrangement are close enough to allow the viewer to follow along in the book. The liberties taken with the tale are few (some years of childhood between the gypsies and the wealthy family are elided; Moll is Moll throughout the tale, rather than Mrs. Betty; Robert becomes Rowland, etc.) and the sets avoid the careless anachronism of the movie version released earlier this year.
The breasts, raised skirts, tumbling hair and heavy breathing on the small screen might catch you by surprise if you don't read the book carefully (as might Moll's abandonment of her children on more than one occasion). Unlike his near-contemporary John Cleland (_Fanny Hill_), Defoe was trying to keep out of jail, and so didn't dwell on the details of "correspondence" between Moll and her varied lovers. But on the page and on the screen, Moll comes across quite clearly as a woman who might bend, but refuses to break, and who is intent on having as good a life as she can get.
E. M. Forster in Aspects of the Novel considers Moll and her creator's art in some detail. While he finds much to criticize in Defoe's ability to plot (where did those last two children go, anyway?), he is as besotted with Moll as I am. Immoral? Sure -- but immortal, and never, ever dull. We hope at least a few of the viewers of the recent adaptation take a couple hours to discover the original, inimitable Moll Flanders.
From AudioFile
This recording of Daniel Defoe's 1722 novel features a too skimpy abridgment of the tale of the irrepressible title character, born in London's Newgate Gaol. It's read by accomplished British actress, Jan Francis and is part of Hodder's Classic Collection, with a stately English painting gracing the cover. Francis reads with expression but without ornamentation, choosing not to give unique voices to the different characters. It works well here, since Moll is really a one-woman show, and so much of the performance depends on how well the narrator handles her. D.B.

作者简介 · · · · · ·
丹尼尔•笛福(Daniel Defoe,1660年-1731年4月24日)英国小说家,新闻记者,小册子作者。其作品主要为个人通过努力,靠自己的智慧和勇敢战胜困难。情节曲折,采用自述方式,可读性强。并表现了当时追求冒险,倡导个人奋斗的社会风气。其代表作《鲁滨逊漂流记》闻名于世,鲁滨逊也成为与困难抗争的典型,因此他被视作英国小说的开创者之一。

1. 看福斯特的《小说面面观》,在论述中许多处都引用了这本书,几乎已经把情节了解了大半——如此通俗,偏偏还是笛福,这位中国小学必读书目作者,所写,便从图书馆借来一观。摩尔·弗兰德斯,叙述口吻粗暴坦率得可怕,却又“圆”得可信可爱。 2.故纸堆里的风流事:平素专看奥... (展开)> 更多书评 22篇

多可怕的封面,我不相信Flanders会是这副模样,她可是颇有一点清教徒的气质的。凑合吧。反正豆瓣、Google和亚马逊都搜不到原来的Three eighteentyh century novels。 初期小说的确有点松散,不过第一本以低层女性为主角的小说,也不能要求太高。笛福的特色也很明显,实事求是,不矫饰,但也不平淡。

一部女性传奇传记小说,脑洞很大,虽然叙事手法全是第一人称自述,但情节还是很精彩,随着女主人生跌宕起伏。生为那个时代女性太不幸了,如果没有个好出身嫁个好人家,就没啥正经出路。另外也没有现代避孕手段,总是生了又生。很高兴最后是好的结局。

英国早期的文学,有些部分甚是不错,比如Moll犯罪的那几章,真的太惊心动魄了 🤣 真的很紧张,希望她不被抓到,以及Moll跟她的朋友狠狠的整了普信男 (原来那时就是男性希望知道女性的全部家底,但是当女性去询问他们家底的时候就翻脸,作者还告诉女性要仔细审视男性的家底再嫁人,我觉得至少已经是比较T恤女性了),但因为是早期文学,剧情有些粗糙,所以有些剧情巧合性太高了,比如Moll一不小心嫁给了自己同母异... 英国早期的文学,有些部分甚是不错,比如Moll犯罪的那几章,真的太惊心动魄了 🤣 真的很紧张,希望她不被抓到,以及Moll跟她的朋友狠狠的整了普信男 (原来那时就是男性希望知道女性的全部家底,但是当女性去询问他们家底的时候就翻脸,作者还告诉女性要仔细审视男性的家底再嫁人,我觉得至少已经是比较T恤女性了),但因为是早期文学,剧情有些粗糙,所以有些剧情巧合性太高了,比如Moll一不小心嫁给了自己同母异父的兄弟 😓 ,而且女主光环太重 🤣 所有男性都爱上了她 (展开)
