'If you are going to be an artist, you must be ashamed of nothing but to be ashamed.'
Welcome to the George Moore Association
​
Dedicated to the study of Moore's life and works
​
As a writer, Moore was a transitional, boundary-crossing figure
​
-
From the 19th to the 20th century
-
Across Ireland, France, and the UK
-
From naturalism to modernism
-
From the novel to precursors of 'personal nonfiction'
-
From sole authorship to collaborative forms of social authorship
-
From hetero to polyvalent sexualities

There's more, much more
to learn about George Moore...
​
The 13th International George Moore Conference, held in Castlebar, Co Mayo, in early May, was a a great success on many levels. A wonderful array of papers were presented with important local input from the community who knew the Moores and Moorehall in a more personal way. In the coming days a more comprehensive account of the Conference will be posted here. But in the meantime, here are some photos to remind us of the pioneering academic research and the conviviality we were lucky enough to experience.
