About this book
A Dublin childhood full of theatre, music, and family encouragement gives Stephen Lucius Gwynn a starting point for his study of Thomas Moore. The young poet recites in private theatricals, learns to play the piano, and sees his verse appear in a magazine. His mother's attention to his lessons and the seaside pleasures of Sandymount help explain the habits and temper that Moore later describes in his own recollections.
Gwynn draws on published memoirs, correspondence, and diaries to consider both Moore's character and his writing. The chapter plan follows marriage, Lalla Rookh, time abroad, and his work as a biographer and controversialist. In the critical passages, praise for polished language sits beside objections to excessive ornament and a preference for his satiric verse.
