Description
Title: Mordaunt. Sketches of Life, Characters, and Manners, in Various Countries; Including the Memoirs of a French Lady of Quality. Author: the Author of Zeluco and Edward [John Moore] Publisher: William Durell, New-York Year: 1801 Details: Complete in two volumes. [2], ii, 300; [2], ii, 292pp.; 7 x 4.5 in. Context: "[Moore's] novel Zeluco (1789), a close analysis of the motives of a selfish profligate, produced a great impression at the time, and indirectly, through the poetry of Byron, has left an abiding mark on literature. Byron said that he intended Childe Harold to be “a poetical Zeluco,” and the most striking features of the portrait were undoubtedly taken from that character. Moore’s other works have a less marked individuality, but his sketches of society and manners in France, Germany, Switzerland, Italy and England furnish valuable materials for the social historian. In 1792 he accompanied Lord Lauderdale to Paris, and witnessed some of the principal scenes of the Revolution. His Journal during a Residence in France (1793) is the careful record of an eye-witness, and is frequently referred to by Carlyle." [Encyclopedia Britannica]
