Frank Frankfort Moore (1855–1931) was a versatile Irish writer and journalist who made contributions to literature as a novelist, dramatist, and poet. Raised as a Belfast Protestant, Moore identified as a unionist, a perspective that shaped his worldview during a period of significant political transition in Ireland.

Despite his unionist background, Moore's creative work—particularly his historical fiction written during the years of the Home Rule agitation—demonstrated a deep engagement with the complexities of Irish history. In his writing, he did not shy away from sensitive themes, frequently addressing the historical realities of Irish-Catholic dispossession and exploring the multifaceted nature of Irish identity.
