What Our Customers Say...
Description
First Edition, Illustrated, Publishers' Original Binding
The first edition of this work. A collection of essays illustrative of certain aspects of George Moore's life and genius, designed by the author Charles Morgan as a tribute to the celebrated novelist and friend. The collection was drawn from material collected by Morgan in preparation of a biography, project which was later abandoned.
George Moore was an Irish author, known for his naturalistic writings and as one of the first English language authors to be influenced by French realism, particularly the work of Emile Zola.
