Hail and Farewell

"Salve" is the captivating second volume of George Moore's celebrated autobiographical trilogy, "Hail and Farewell". This work offers an intimate and often irreverent look at the heart of the Irish Literary Revival at the turn of the 20th century. Moore recounts his return to Ireland from Paris and London, driven by a desire to contribute to the cultural and linguistic rebirth of his homeland.

The narrative is populated by the giants of Irish literature and politics, including W.B. Yeats, Lady Gregory, George Russell (AE), and Edward Martyn. Through Moore's sharp wit and keen observation, the reader gains a behind-the-scenes perspective on the founding of the Irish National Theatre and the internal conflicts of the Gaelic League. "Salve" is more than a mere memoir; it is a stylistic masterpiece that blends fact with a novelist's flair for characterization and dialogue.

Exploring themes of artistic identity, religious tension, and the search for a national voice, Moore's prose captures the vibrant intellectual atmosphere of Dublin. This volume remains an essential document for anyone interested in the personalities and passions that shaped modern Irish culture and letters.
