List of Titles by George Moore

For a detailed account of the many variants, see Edwin Gilcher's  A Bibliography of George Moore. The various dates of publication for the following titles indicate significant revision. Moore was a tireless re-writer of his own books; Confessions of a Young Man in particular was a lifetime work-in-progress; as was Memoirs of My Dead Life.
