Bøker av Patricia Pulham

Combines psychoanalytic theory with sociohistorical criticism to examine a selection of tales by the female aesthete and intellectual Vernon Lee (Violet Paget, 1856-1935). This title argues that the prevalence of the past in Lee's tales signifies not only an historical but a psychic past.

Specially commissioned essays offer revisionary readings of canonical poets and bring into focus rediscovered writers.

This, the first collection of essays on the aesthete and intellectual Vernon Lee, offers a wide range of critical writings by scholars. Key works are examined including Euphorion, Hauntings: Fantastic Stories and Music and Its Lovers . New light is shed on Lee's relationships with contemporaries such as Lee-Hamilton, Pater and Wilde.
