Thomas Moore

1779–1852


Thomas Moore (1779–1852) was Ireland's national poet in the Romantic era, celebrated above all for the Irish Melodies (issued in installments from 1808 to 1834), verses written to fit traditional Irish airs, which carried Irish nationalist feeling and folklore to drawing rooms across Britain and America.

A close friend of Byron (whose memoirs he controversially burned after the poet's death) and a fixture of literary London, Moore was also the author of the wildly popular Oriental verse-romance Lalla Rookh, though it is the Melodies — "The Minstrel Boy," "The Last Rose of Summer," "Believe Me, if All Those Endearing Young Charms" — that have lasted.
