For over a hundred years, the journal of the Irish poet Thomas Moore (1779-1852) was thought to have been destroyed. In 1967 the manuscript was found in the archives of the Longman Publishing House in London. This edition, to be published in six volumes, reveals the essential Moore and introduces the reader to the daily, personal record of Moore’s life from 1818 to 1847. The journal begins as an accurate rendering of the author’s daily life and ends as a tragic reflection of a failing memory and a deteriorating mind.
