Description
Vernon Lee: A Critical Reappraisal This book offers the first comprehensive exploration of Vernon Lee's fiction, a writer whose work was highly regarded in her time but fell out of favour in the 20th century. However, recent interest in fin de siècle culture and lesbian Modernist writing has led to a renewed appreciation for Lee's innovative literary style. Lee's life and work are marked by contradictions - she was a belle-lettriste, a self-consciously Continental intellectual, and a pacifist, yet her fiction often explored themes of attraction and isolation. This book examines Lee's literary output in the context of her relationships with influential figures of her time, including Oscar Wilde, H.G. Wells, and Virginia Woolf. Through its analysis of Lee's work, this book sheds new light on the turbulent cultural landscape of early 20th-century Britain, where the old certainties were crumbling and new forms of expression were emerging.
