Although his refusal to conform to the literary and social conventions of his time led to the neglect of his work, Irish writer George Moore has returned to public consciousness with the 2012 film version of one of his short stories, "Albert Nobbs." This work collects papers on Moore from a June 2011 conference held at the Moore Institute at the National University of Ireland-Galway. International contributors in English, history, and theater explore topics such as Moore Hall during the famine, Moore's Dana controversy, Moore and Hemingway, the dandyism of George Moore, and Moore's use of the romantic epiphany in his Victorian novels. Montague has published other books of nonfiction. Frazier has written other books on Irish cultural figures. The book is distributed in the US by ISBS.
