About the author
Born in 1852 and dying in 1933, G. Greville Moore — George Greville Moore — is known chiefly for Memories of an Old Etonian, 1860–1912. The book was published in 1919 and has remained his best-known work in library and public-domain records.
Moore wrote as a memoirist rather than a novelist, looking back on his youth, his time at Eton, and the people and settings that shaped him. His writing is valued less for plot than for atmosphere: the habits, friendships, and social world of upper-class Britain in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
For listeners interested in personal recollection, school life, and the texture of a vanished world, his work has a quiet appeal. Memories of an Old Etonian reads like a window into the manners and memories of its age, told by someone who lived it.
