Listen back to our Lunchtime Lecture series on 'Discovering Thomas Moore'

Curated by musicologist Dr Sarah McCleave, School of Arts, English & Languages, QUB, this exhibition exposes the breadth of Moore’s research and writing about Ireland and explores Moore’s role as an Irish writer with an international reputation in positioning Ireland within Europe through cultural exchange. It also addresses contemporary European fascination with the orient and Moore’s influential role in depicting eastern culture, particularly via his hugely successful work, Lalla Rookh. You can now listen to all five lectures in this series below.
