Hard cover, 8vo, in half brown cloth with marbled paper-covered boards, a cream printed paper label to the spine, edges untrimmed, with an engraved bookplate of a now-defunct, central Scottish baronetcy. 259 pp. on heavy laid paper. This is Book Ten of the Uniform Edition of Heinemann's "The Works of George Moore," being the third book (only) of a three volume novel. Condition: Very Good. There is some browning to the page edges, which are untrimmed, and a couple of gently bumped corners. A few spots of occasional foxing and lightly age-toned. This work has been described as a semi-autobiographical novel, and his most famous work, in which he voices his real contemporaries as fictional characters, such as Yeats and Lady Gregory. **Irish author, poet and critic, George Augustus Moore ( 1852-1933) was influenced by the naturalism of the French writers he met during residence in Paris while training as an artist in the 1880's, and would later go on to be instrumental in the foundation of Dublin's Abbey Theatre.
