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.

At the end of Victoria’s reign, the novelist George Moore announced that the “sceptre of intelligence” was now being handed from London to Dublin; several notable figures returned to the Irish capital (including Moore himself), to take part in the various cultural experiments developing against a background of political radicalisation.
