description: George Moore is a large figure in Irish letters, but a curious one. Everyone knows of him, few know about him. A biography of Moore is a huge and fascinating opportunity to explore an entire cultural world. Frazier does this, never forgetting that his main task is to narrate the abundant life of Moore himself. To do so he has seen papers in Ireland, the US, Paris and London that no other scholar has used, enabling him to reconstruct the details of Moore's romantic life. Having had affairs with Pearl Craigie and Olive Schreiner, among others, Moore settled into a long and secret liaison with another man's wife, Lady Maud Cunard whose daughter, Nancy Cunard, was very probably Moore's child, as Frazier here reveals for the first time.
