Synopsis

Discover the Bermuda years of a famed poet and the stories that surrounded his circle. This nonfiction look follows Thomas Moore’s move from Dublin to London, his appointment as registrar of the court of vice‑admiralty at Bermuda, and the colorful letters and verses that arose from that time. It weaves together Moore’s travels, social life, and the legends that grew around him in a place famed for its temperate air and harbor tales.

The narrative traces Moore’s sea journey to Bermuda, the influence of his surroundings on his poetry, and the way his adventures shaped public perception. It also examines the debates around his Odes to Nea and the tensions of romance, reputation, and status that colored his time abroad. Along the way, you’ll encounter letters, engravings, and anecdotes that reveal how a young poet’s life abroad became part of literary lore.

• Why Moore went to Bermuda and what his office there entailed.


• How his poems and letters reflected Bermuda society and personal ties.


• The blending of fact and local legend in the memory of Nea and other figures.


• The broader stakes of a poet’s finances, fame, and exile in the early 19th century.

Ideal for readers of Thomas Moore, literary history, and nineteenth‑century correspondence who enjoy a brisk, documentary portrait of a poet abroad.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
