Sinopsis

George Moore was an Irish novelist, short-story writer, poet, art critic, memoirist and dramatist. He came from a Roman Catholic landed family and originally wanted to be a painter studying in Paris in the 1870?s. As a naturalistic writer, he was among the first English-language authors to study the French realists, and was particularly influenced by the works of Èmile Zola. Because of his willingness to tackle such issues as prostitution, extramarital sex and lesbianism, his novels were met with disapproval but eventually as public taste changed they became accepted. Moore?s 1887 novel A Mere Accident is an agonizing tragedy. It is Moore?s attempt to merge his symbolist and realist influences.
