George Edward Moore
Bio: George Edward Moore was born in 1873 into a loving and pious middle-class family in London, from whom he received a fairly conventional middle-class upbringing. He studied at Cambridge University, where his influence upon the Bloomsbury group of writers, artists, and bohemians, as well as his participation in the famous meetings of the ‘Cambridge Apostles,’ contributed toward an extraordinary legacy of personal influence that many have contended was of far greater significance to English speaking culture in the twentieth century than the influence of his fairly modest corpus of published writings.
