Tom Moore: An Unhistorical Romance / Founded on Certain Happenings in the Life of Ireland's Greatest Poet

A fictionalized, intimate portrait of a celebrated poet traces his early struggles, romantic pursuits, and artistic ambitions as he moves from modest circumstances into literary and high-society circles. Episodes portray teaching and entertaining, uncomfortable financial and publishing dealings, encounters with influential contemporaries, social reversals and restorations, and courtship that culminates in marital happiness. The narrative intermixes historical figures and invented personages and compresses events for continuity, while examining friendship, loyalty, professional aspiration, and the tension between public reputation and private domestic contentment.
