A Modern Lover (1883) is a novel by George Moore. His debut novel
marked a turning point in Moore's early career, characterized to
that point by poorly written French poetry and a failed attempt at
becoming a painter. Although less acclaimed than such novels as
Esther Waters (1894), A Modern Lover is credited with being the
first English novel to employ the experimental methods of Moore's
French contemporaries. Like much of Moore's work, A Modern Lover
shows the influence of French naturalist writer Emile Zola, who
sought to portray the influence of heredity and social environment
on the lives of his characters without shying away from poverty,
sex, disease, and suffering. Lewis Seymour is a young artist who
moves to London in search of fame and achievement. Although he
shows promise, he quickly falls into a pattern of social climbing
rather than focusing on honing his craft. As he uses one wealthy,
well-connected woman after the next in a tireless journey upward,
he begins to lose sight of his artistic dreams. Eventually, he
settles on three women whose affection and support allow him to
make a name for himself-Gwinnie, a shopgirl; Mrs. Bethan, a
middle-class divorcee; and Lady Helen, a powerful aristocrat. A
Modern Lover is a story of sexuality and ambition from a pioneering
figure in the formation of the modern English novel. With a
beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript,
this edition of George Moore's A Modern Lover is a classic of Irish
literature reimagined for modern readers.
