- Authors
Llewellyn, Mark
- Abstract
The article focuses on the poems included in the books "Flowers of Passion" and "Pagan Poems," by George Moore. The author intends to expand upon Moore's artistic personality and to demonstrate how Moore reinterpreted the issue of mid-Victorian period masculinity. Moore's early literary failures are discussed as are his efforts to build his own notoriety. Explications for individual poems are presented to showcase Moore's interest in sexuality and gender.
