Who is Honor Woulfe?

Honora Euphrasia Woulfe (1871-1951) was a vivacious and independent Irish-American business woman and aspiring writer in Waco, Texas when she traveled to Dublin and met George Moore in 1907. It seems they had an intimate affair that inspired George’s fantasy Euphorion in Texas (1914). Their warm friendship continued for the rest of his life.

Honor herself wrote a remarkable memoir of George entitled “George Moore and the Amenities.” It was published posthumously. The manuscript and Moore’s letters to her are at the Harry Ransom Center, University of Texas at Austin.
