Items related to The Lake
Tells of an Irish priest's loss not of faith, but of commitment to the principles fostered in him during his training. It describes his discovery of a more fulfilling religion that celebrates instinct as being man's true mode of communion with his soul, and is also about the satisfactions of living close to nature in Ireland. The atmosphere of the Mayo countryside and the rich historical associations in every church, castle, or abbey, ruin and farmstead, are evoked with a rare skill, subtly illuminating the relationship that Moore takes as his theme between place and the Irish personality.

About the Author:
George Augustus Moore (1852-1933) was born at Moore Hall in County Mayo, Ireland. His father's death in 1870 left him financially independent, and shortly afterwards he moved to Paris to study painting. While there he mixed freely in Bohemian circles and became influenced not only by fellow artists (Monet, Manet, Degas and Renoir) but also by writers such as Mallarmé and Zola.
After a brief return to his estate in Ireland, Moore moved to London and published his first book, A Modern Lover, in 1883. This was followed by A Mummer's Wife (1885), Esther Waters (1894), Evelyn Innes (1898) and Sister Teresa (1901).
As the new century dawned, Moore left London for Dublin and became an important figure in the Irish Revival. Together with W. B. Yeats, he became heavily involved in the planning of what was to become the Abbey Theatre, a period which he later recorded in his memoirs, Hail and Farewell.
In 1903 he published his first collection of short stories, The Untilled Field, and this was followed by The Lake (1905).
He then returned to London and wrote further novels, including The Brook Kerith (1916) and Heloise and Abelard (1921), and a second collection of short stories, Celibate Lives (1927).
The Ebury edition of George Moore's collected works ran to 20 volumes and was published shortly after his death.
