Vale/ Moore was considered an innovator of fiction in his day/ His first novels, A Modern Lover (1883) and A Mummer’s Wife (1885), Esther Waters (1894), his best novel, was an immediate success, and he followed it with works in a similar vein: Evelyn Innes (1898) and Sister Teresa (1901)/ The real fruits of his life in Ireland, however, came with the trilogy Hail and Farewell (Ave, 1911; Salve, 1912; Vale, 1914)/ Discursive, affectionate, and satirical by turns, a carefully studied piece of self-revelation and an acute (though not always reliable) portrait gallery of his Irish acquaintance, which included Yeats and Lady Gregory. Above all it is a perfectly modulated display of the comic spirit.
