Letters 1896

←Menu of Letters of George Moore

In 1896, George Moore published no new books and very few articles. For the first time in his career, he seemed well out of the spotlight and less than remarkably industrious, but he wasn’t idle. The success of Esther Waters in 1894 had confirmed his reputation as an eminent man of letters. It also gave him the confidence and financial stability to plan three full years of research and development for his next large work of fiction: the duology Evelyn Innes (1898) and Sister Teresa (1901). His engrossing R&D actually continued for four years, as he wrangled the relatively unfamiliar subject matter of musical art into his canon. There are 38 extant letters of George Moore from the year 1896.
