 | | A unique figure best known for the novel Esther Waters, George Moore was a prolific writer who, along with such figures as Henry James, revitalized Victorian fiction by infusing it with the realistic and naturalistic techniques of Balzac and Zola. |
 | | Unlike Yeats, Joyce, or James, George Moore did not have a strong and confident sense of his own identity, and has in consequence remained a rather dim and shadowy figure on the literary landscape of his time. |
 | | Moore often let himself down, yet his achievement as a whole deserves the epithet "heroic." Had Irish Catholics and Nationalists, in particular, listened to his enlightened critique, they might have spared themselves a century of repression, mystification, and violence. |
