The Collected Short Stories Of George Moore PDF Download

George Moore (1852–1933) was one of the most influential and versatile writers and journalists of the turn of the century. Bridging movements as disparate as high realism/naturalism and mysticism, his narrative work is also significant for its concern with emerging psychoanalytical approaches. Much of his writing crossed boundaries: generically, thematically, psychologically and conceptually – between autobiography, fiction and folklore, hysteria, sex and gender. Despite his significant impact on fin-de-siècle culture and literature, Moore's works have not been readily available. This five-volume, reset critical edition addresses current scholarly interest in Moore, making available his generally neglected short story collections. Each original collection of stories contains: an introduction, including detailed contextualisations and in-depth textual analyses; a bibliographic note on the text; plus editorial notes; textual variants; an appendix of Moore's revisions to the texts; and reviews to illustrate contemporary reactions to Moore's writings.
