Editor's review

Daireen. Complete is the complete edition of a novel by Irish author Frank Frankfort Moore, made available as a free eBook by Project Gutenberg. Moore was known for his plotting and dialogue, and this work continues the storytelling pleasures of late nineteenth-century popular fiction. It suits readers interested in late Victorian English novels who want to broaden their reading. The complete edition keeps the plot lines together in one place, so you do not have to search across separate volumes. The electronic text is easy to search for character names and key scenes, and works well for reading in segments on a commute or before bed. Note that this is the original English public-domain text with no modern annotations, so readers unfamiliar with the period may need to look things up as they go. Overall, it is a literary vein worth mining slowly rather than a fast-paced diversion.

About the author

Moore, Frank Frankfort, 1855-1931 Author

Frank Frankfort Moore (1855–1931) was a British writer active from the late nineteenth to the early twentieth century. Twenty-two of his works are held in this collection, though public information about him is limited. Judging from representative titles such as The Jessamy Bride and A Georgian Pageant, he often set his fiction against English history and upper-class society, weaving real figures into invented plots with a light, dramatic touch. Books like Daireen and Priscilla and Charybdis show his interest in love, marriage, and difficult choices. His range also extends to social manners and philosophical fantasy, as seen in the speculative tone of According to Plato and The Other World. Stylistically, Moore emphasized narrative appeal and dialogue, suiting the serial and popular reading of his day and offering a useful glimpse of late Victorian and Edwardian popular fiction.
