Overview

Throughout his professional life, the poet Thomas Moore (1779–1852) was variously celebrated and vilified for both his verse and his politics. Born in Dublin, he remained an ardent Irish patriot until his death. This eight-volume collection of Moore's memoirs, diaries and letters, edited by his friend Lord John Russell (1792–1878) and first published between 1853 and 1856, provides rare insights into a man whose genius was applauded by the Morning Chronicle as 'embracing almost all sides of imaginative literature, of criticism and philosophy'. Volume 6 contains Moore's diary for the period 1829–33, during which time he finally published Letters and Journals of Lord Byron (1830) and the book that won him respect as a leading Irish patriot, The Life and Death of Lord Edward Fitzgerald (1831).
