GB 0096 AL185 1920-1924 fonds 11 items (11 leaves) Moore , George Augustus , 1852-1933 , author

George Augustus Moore was born in County Mayo, Ireland, in 1852. He was the eldest son of the politician George Henry Moore. He was educated at school in England before studying art in London and Paris. He inherited substantial Irish estates aged 18, when his father died in 1870, but the income from these reduced over the next few years and he began to make a living as a journalist and author in London. Much of his fiction was controversial, because of its treatment of religion and human sexuality. Between 1901 and 1911 Moore lived in Dublin, but spent most of his adult life living in England and France. He was brought up as a Roman Catholic, but publicly renounced this faith in middle age, having come to consider himself a protestant. He died in 1933.
