Contents include: 'The Book and its Title', 'The Child in the Vatican', 'Orpheus and Eurydice - The Lesson of a Bas-Relief', 'Faustus and Helena - Notes on the Supernatural in Art', 'Chapelmaster Kreisler - A Study of Musical Romanticists', 'Cherubino - A Psychological Art Fancy', 'In Umbria - A Study of Artistic Personality', 'Ruskinism - The Would-Be Study of a Conscience', 'A Dialogue on Poetic Morality', and 'Postscript or Apology'. Violet Paget (1856-1935), also known under the pseudonym Vernon Lee, was a French-born British writer famous for her supernatural fiction and contributions to the field of aesthetics. She also wrote more than a dozen books on a variety of subjects ranging from music to travel, and today she is best remembered for her original ideas and amusing use of irony. Other notable works by this author include: 'The Prince of the Hundred Soups: A Puppet Show in Narrative' (1883), 'The Countess of Albany' (1884), and 'Miss Brown' (1884). Read & Co.
