Abstract
The final case study in the book compares two versions of Moore’s short story ‘Albert Nobbs’, as it first appeared as part of the narrative of A Story-Teller’s Holiday, and as it was later published as a separate chapter in Celibate Lives. Moore was again interested in focusing his text on the experiences of one central character, but this time he set himself the task of using a character whose identity, particularly in relation to gender, is fluid and unstable. The chapter offers a comparison of a number of parallel extracts from the two versions of the text, informed by pragmatic analysis, in order to assess how Moore developed his approach to the challenge he had set himself.
