Considers how Moore's poem “Ballad Stanzas,” in which the poet celebrated the beauty and Edenic quality of Upper Canada, was influential in shaping American, Canadian, and British perceptions of the region during the early nineteenth century.

Florio, Joseph. “Joyce's Eveline.” The Explicator 51, no. 3 (spring 1993): 181-85.

Suggests that Joyce took the name of “Eveline” from the traditional song “My Dear Eveleen,” which Moore had renamed “Silent, O Moyle” and rewritten to reflect a Celtic myth involving the lonely and woeful daughter of a god.
