Hail and Farewell is a monumental autobiographical trilogy by George Moore that captures the spirit and controversies of the Irish Literary Revival at the turn of the 20th century. This expansive work chronicles Moore's return to Dublin after years in Paris and London, driven by a desire to contribute to the burgeoning cultural movement in his homeland. Through a unique blend of memoir, fiction, and social satire, Moore provides an intimate-and often irreverent-portrait of the era's most influential figures, including W.B. Yeats, Lady Gregory, and AE (George Russell).
The narrative explores the tensions between art, religion, and national identity, offering a candid look at the interpersonal dynamics and creative struggles that defined the Irish literary landscape. Known for its conversational prose and sharp wit, Hail and Farewell serves as both a personal confession and a historical document of a pivotal moment in literary history. This two-volume set allows readers to immerse themselves in Moore's vivid recollections and his skeptical, yet fascinated, perspective on the dream of an Irish cultural renaissance. It remains a foundational text for understanding the development of modern Irish literature and the complex personalities behind it.
