Description

Originally published in 1925, this book contains the edited diary of Tom Moore, the Irish songwriter and close friend of Lord Byron. Priestley's selection of Moore's diary entries focuses mostly on Moore's golden period prior to his decline into ill health and personal tragedy. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in Irish poetry or eighteenth- and nineteenth-century British artistic history.
