The 13th International George Moore Conference will engage with the man and his writings, with particular focus on the influence of landscape and memory in his literature, and especially on the persistent influence of his Mayo roots and origin. When directly mirroring recognisable landscape, or transposing experience and recollection into fictional characterisation, Moore’s depictions also reflect the reality of 19th century history in church, state and family, and provide insight into the attitudes and conflicts of the period. Moreover, the texts are inevitably inflected by his experience of life in France, England and Gaelic Revival Dublin.
