Frank Frankfort Moore

Birthplace

What is recorded here

County Limerick gave birth to Frank Frankfort Moore in 1855, yet Belfast raised him into a compulsive writer whose vitriol masked entrapment among provincial philistines. His earliest memory watched dragoons charge sectarian rioters below a nursery window, seeding a life that mocked puritanism, reported empire from South Africa to India, and never stopped producing without revision.
