| Synopsis: |
This timely book is the first collection of critical essays on Vernon Lee (Violet Paget, 1856-1935), the author of forty-three volumes, and a major literary figure and leading European cosmopolitan intellectual whose contribution to the literature and culture of the Victorian fin de siecle and to an emergent twentieth-century modernism is currently under re-evaluation. New light is shed on Lee's personal and professional relationships with contemporaries such as Eugene Lee-Hamilton, Walter Pater, Oscar Wilde and Bernard Berenson, and original and exciting approaches taken to key works including her essay on the Italian Renaissance, Euphorion (1884), two of her short stories of 'Oke of Okehurst' and 'Prince Alberic and the Snake Lady', her fascinating historical detective novel Louis Norbert (1914), her pacifist drama The Ballet of the Nations, and her innovative book on literary theory: The Handling of Words (1923). Using new archival material, this volume will be of interest to students and scholars of Victorian literature and culture, gay and lesbian studies, aesthetics, literary decadence, art history and women's studies, amongst others. |
