Describe Moll Flanders here.

Well, we don't really need to, given that the entire story is revealed by the full title: The Fortunes and Misfortunes of the Famous Moll Flanders, Etc. Who Was Born In Newgate, and During a Life of Continu'd Variety (*takes a breath*) For Threescore Years, Besides Her Childhood, Was Twelve Year a Whore, Five Times a Wife [Whereof Once To Her Own Brother], Twelve Year a Thief, Eight Year a Transported Felon In Virginia, At Last Grew Rich, Liv'd Honest, and Died a Penitent. Written from her own Memorandums. (*breathes*) Whew.

Outside that, all you really need to know is that it's a novel, was published in 1722, and was written by Daniel Defoe, author of Robinson Crusoe.

Tropes used in Moll Flanders include:

Brother-Sister Incest
Exactly What It Says on the Tin: And what a rather long tin it is.
Foregone Conclusion: Thanks to the title.
Direct Line to the Author: "Written from her own Memorandums".
Long Title
Outlaw Couple
Picaresque: The genre of the novel.
Spoiler Title: The (full) title gives away all the major plot twists.
Unreliable Narrator
