Many of his works have been translated into English, and he is well‑recognized in the English‑speaking world among those interested in [[Scandinavia]]n culture and history. In his autobiographical novel, ''A Soldier with a Broken Rifle'' (Swedish: ''Soldat med brutet gevär''), he speaks to the importance of giving voice to the downtrodden, illiterate classes of his forebears. This viewpoint also formed his ''History of the Swedish People, I–II'' (Swedish: ''Min svenska historia, berättad för folket'', I–II), published in 1970–71 in both Swedish and English. He had intended the history to have more volumes, but he never finished it.

As a playwright, Moberg wrote 38 works for the stage or for radio (1919–1973). Some were produced as lighter classics of the Swedish stage and television, or were adapted as feature films by directors such as [[Ingmar Bergman]]<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.ingmarbergman.se/page.asp?guid%3D672037B6-F0AA-48D9-A9EC-7D53DEAD8786 |title=Ingmar Bergman Lea och Rakel |access-date=December 27, 2011 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20111106073039/http://www.ingmarbergman.se/page.asp?guid=672037B6-F0AA-48D9-A9EC-7D53DEAD8786 |archivedate=November 6, 2011 }}</ref> (''Lea och Rakel''/''Leah and Rachel''; [[Malmö City Theatre]] 1955) and [[Alf Sjöberg]]<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0053781/|title=Domaren (1960)|date=14 October 1960|work=IMDb}}</ref> (''Domaren''/''The Judge''; 1960).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0595002/|title=Vilhelm Moberg|work=IMDb}}</ref>
