Memoirs of My Dead Life George Moore

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. As a naturalistic writer, he was among the first English-language authors to absorb the lessons of the French realists, particularly Emile Zola. He is as often regarded as the first great modern Irish novelist.
