While the years Moore spent in Paris in the 1870s were seminal for his artistic awakening and development, the associations and friendships he formed in French literary and artistic circles exerted an enduring influence on his creative career. Moore maintained close ties with France throughout his life and his numerous contacts extended to social, musical and cultural spheres. He introduced the Impressionists to a British audience and his importation of French literary innovation into the English novel was remarkable.\u003cbr\u003e Exploring Moore’s early years in Paris and his ongoing engagement with the experimental modernity of his French models, these essays offer new insights into this cosmopolitan writer’s work. Moore emerges as a turn-of-the-century European artist whose eclectic writings reflect the complex evolution of literature from Naturalism to Modernism through Symbolism and Decadence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e«[...] students and scholars from a number of disciplines will find this collection of essays an engaging, stimulating and valuable addition to the body of criticism on Moore.»\u003cbr\u003e (Robert Finnigan, Nordic Irish Studies 2\/2016)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Isabelle Enaud-Lechien: Moore-Degas-Paris: Exchanges, Reminiscences and Intersecting Arts – Justine Picchereddu: «An Art-Tortured Soul»: Authority in \u003ci\u003eConfessions of a Young Man\u003c\/i\u003e – Brendan Fleming: The Leaving of Paris: Some Contrasts and Parallels between George Moore and James Joyce – Fabienne Gaspari: The Symphony of the Senses: Baudelaire, Huysmans and Moore – Melanie Grundmann: «The Great Purifying Influence»: Théophile Gautier and George Moore – Stoddard Martin: Wilde and Moore: \u003ci\u003eDecadents\u003c\/i\u003e – Kathryn Laing: George Moore and F.
