Hardback with DJ in Slipcase. George Augustus Moore (1852 1933) was an Irish novelist, short-story writer, poet, art critic, memoirist and dramatist. Moore came from a Roman Catholic landed family who lived at Moore Hall in Carra, County Mayo. He originally wanted to be a painter, and studied art in Paris during the 1870s. There, he befriended many of the leading French artists and writers of the day. As a naturalistic writer, he was amongst the first English-language authors to absorb the lessons of the French realists, and was particularly influenced by the works of Émile Zola. His writings in turn had a profound influence on the early work of James Joyce, according to the literary critic and biographer Richard Ellmann, and, although Moore's work is sometimes seen as outside the mainstream of both Irish and British literature, he can in justice be regarded as the first great modern Irish novelist. Because of his willingness to tackle such issues as prostitution, extramarital sex, and lesbianism, Moore's novels were initially met with scandal, but this subsided as the public's taste for realist fiction grew. Moore's early realist novelsr include A Drama in Muslin (1886) , a satiric story of the marriage trade in Anglo-Irish society that hints at same-sex relationships among the unmarried daughters of the gentry, and Esther Waters (1894) , the story of an unmarried housemaid who becomes pregnant and is abandoned by her footman lover. Both of these books have remained almost constantly in print since their first publication. Moore's last novel, Aphrodite in Aulis, was published in 1930. Ulick and Soracha is an historical romance tracing Sir Ulick de Burgo's pursuit of the Princess Soracha in 14th-century Ireland. ; Large 8vo 9" - 10" tall; 235 pages; Signed by Author.…
