Hail and Farewell: Vale (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025700359)

"Hail and Farewell: 3. Vale" is the concluding volume of George Moore's celebrated autobiographical trilogy, serving as a landmark account of the Irish Literary Revival. In this final installment, Moore reflects on his time in Dublin and his complex relationships with the leading figures of Ireland's cultural renaissance, including W.B. Yeats, Lady Gregory, and AE (George Russell). Part memoir and part satirical critique, the work captures the atmosphere of early 20th-century Ireland with wit, elegance, and unflinching honesty.

This volume follows Moore as he decides to leave Ireland once more, offering a poignant meditation on art, friendship, and national identity. "Vale" is particularly noted for its vivid character sketches and its stylistic innovation, blending personal recollection with a novelistic narrative flow. It provides an indispensable perspective on the Abbey Theatre, the Gaelic League, and the intellectual ferment that shaped modern Irish literature. As a foundational text of literary history, "Hail and Farewell: 3. Vale" remains a masterpiece of the memoir genre, essential for anyone interested in the giants of the Irish revival and the evolution of the autobiographical form.
