George Augustus Moore was born in the aftermath of the Great Famine in County Mayo, Ireland, the eldest son of a prominent Catholic politician and landlord. Moore, however, was to rebirth himself many times. As he explained in his autobiographies, “I began myself out of nothing, developing from the mere sponge to the vertebrate and upward” and “was at once the sculptor and the block of marble of my own destiny” who at least three times reentered the world “in the womb of a new nationality”. Moore never ceased to wonder how the clumsy red-haired boy from western Ireland, sent home from Oscott as an unteachable dunce, a failed painter and would-be Parisian bohemian, untidy of manner and trapped in a strange and effeminate body, nevertheless became George Moore the cosmopolitan author, famous during his lifetime for the sophistication of his outlook and, particularly in later years, the elegance of his prose. During the more than fifty years spanning his first publication (a juvenile imitation of Baudelaire entitled Flowers of Passion) in 1878 to his last memoir, A Communication to My Friends (left incomplete at his death in 1933), Moore’s work embodied almost every major movement in fiction and brought to autobiographical literature a level of complexity and art unmatched in English. At the same time, he established a reputation for iconoclastic, often courageous, and occasionally outrageous views of such volatile issues as sexual identity, gender roles, religion, nationalism, while throughout his career spoke out passionately and repeatedly against the censorship of art and literature.

George Moore was born on the 24th February 1852 in Moore Hall House, on the shores of Lough Carra in County Mayo. He was educated in a catholic school, Oscott College. He had little interest in study and at the age of 16 he was expelled for "Idleness and general worthlessness". A further vain attempt was made to educate his further by the old parish priest. George went to live in the family home in London, where he developed a love for horse racing and art.

"We are one of the great stocks of Europe. We are the people of Burke; we are the people of Swift, the people of Emmet, the people of Parnell. We have created most of the modern literature of this country. We have created the best of its political intelligence."
W. B. Yeats, speech in the Irish Senate, June 11, 1925
