- Spiritual autobiography.
- Picaresque novel.
- Literary realism.
- Unreliable narrator.
(Despite Moll Flanders' seemingly candid and unrestrained telling of her story, on several occasions she describes instances where she deceived others, or at least withheld important details in order to manipulate others' perception of herself. I think we should expect that the reader is receiving a similar treatment from the narrator.)

The works of William Hogarth provide a view of London during the first half of the Eighteenth Century. Perhaps they allow us to visualize the world of Moll Flanders as she would have known it (although Defoe sets Moll Flanders' story as occurring during the Seventeenth Century).
