Maggiori informazioni sul libro
Exploring the intersection of beauty and art, this collection of essays by Vernon Lee delves into Aestheticism, drawing inspiration from Walter Pater. Lee, a principled feminist and pacifist, faced criticism for her anti-war stance but has recently gained recognition for her literary contributions, particularly in horror. The essays, beginning with the bay laurel as a symbol of artistic achievement, argue for beauty's intrinsic value separate from truth and goodness. Lyrical and meditative, they reflect Lee's profound knowledge of art history and her influence as a leading intellectual of her era.
