Summary
Thomas Moore was an Irish poet, satirist, composer, singer and close friend of Lord Byron. Synopsis He was born on May 28, 1779, in Dublin, Ireland. Close friends with writer Lord Byron, Moore was entrusted with the famous romantic's memoirs after his death. Moore tried in vain to save them from being destroyed after selling the copyright, with Byron's approval, to publisher John Murray. The memoirs were burned by men representing the interests of Byron's estranged wife and his half sister. As for his own work, Moore wrote 130 original poems set to folk melodies, including "The Minstrel Boy" and "The Last Rose of Summer." His poem "Lalla Rookh" is credited as the most translated poem of its time. Moore died in 1852. This collection includes the following: I. Introduction II. Memoirs of the Life of the Rt. Hon. Richard Brinsley Sheridan III. The Odes of Anacreon IV. Thomas Moore by Stephen Lucius Gwynn V. Famous Reviews, Selected and Edited with Introductory VI. The Complete Poems of Sir Thomas Moore VII.
