George Moore

Principia Ethica

Hail and Farewell! Part One

Globetrotter and cross-country motorcyclist, George Moore has traversed the deserts and plains of the West in search of the cultural equivalent of a cowboy nirvana, always open to the vast, open spaces and seduced by the heights. He has explored the last best remote corners of the planet and written extensively on both the tail-ends and origins of a diverse humanity. Moore's poetry fuses a modernist, philosophical intensity with a postmodernist's eye for the absurd and startlingly diurnal. The Hermits of Dingle centers on a group of rock islands off the Irish coast, where 7th-century hermits made their stark homes in small beehive huts. The poetry begins with this minimalist setting, a sensibility tuned to the nature of how we live in the world, uncluttered by the advances of civilization, but it then goes deeper, uncovering moments of significance from the perspective of the poet's unflinching eye as it comes to rest on the sharper realities and heartfelt truths of the human world.

Hail and Farewell!

In "Evelyn Innes," George Moore presents a rich narrative that explores the complexities of love, art, and spiritual awakening. Set against the backdrop of late 19th-century Europe, the novel centers on the titular character, Evelyn Innes, a gifted singer grappling with the demands of her burgeoning career and the passionate, often tumultuous relationships that ensue. Moore's lyrical prose immerses the reader in a vivid examination of the intersection between artistic ambition and personal fulfillment, while his nuanced portrayal of Evelyn's internal struggles reflects a modernist literary style that seeks to illuminate the psychological depth of its characters. This work not only encapsulates the societal norms of its time but also critiques them, thus situating itself within the movement of naturalism and early modernism. George Moore, an influential figure in the Irish literary renaissance, infused his own experiences with art and passion into his writing. His exposure to the art world, particularly through his friendships with notable figures and his own ventures in painting, informs Evelyn's artistic journey and the psychological intricacies he deftly unveils. Moore'Äôs exploration of desire, ambition, and the quest for artistic identity is drawn from his personal struggles and understanding of the complexities inherent in the human experience. For readers seeking a profound exploration of love and artistry, "Evelyn Innes" stands as a significant literary work that transcends its historical context. Moore invites readers into an emotionally charged world where the boundaries between self and art blur, making this novel not only a compelling narrative but also a reflection of the broader human condition. This book promises to resonate deeply with those intrigued by the intricacies of the creative soul.
