{"product_id":"vernon-lee-sondeep-kandola-9780746311769","title":"Vernon Lee","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis book is the first full-scale exploration of the fiction of one of the most influential women writing in English in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. While Lee's work was well-admired in her own day, her fiction and her writings on aesthetics, \u003ci\u003e'The Woman in Question'\u003c\/i\u003e and psychology appeared anachronistic to later twentieth-century audiences. The recent upsurge of interest in the culture of the \u003ci\u003efin de si鐵le\u003c\/i\u003e and lesbian Modernist writing has assured Lee a well-deserved critical resurrection and this book explores her ground-breaking literary work in light of the turbulent friendships that she had with figures such as Oscar Wilde, H.G. Wells and Virginia Woolf. A belle-lettriste, a self-consciously Continental intellectual and a pacifist, Lee's changing authorial masks doubly participate and anticipate the wider shift from Victorian earnestness to Modernist play marking British letters over the course of fifty years. Ultimately, however, Lee emerges as an increasingly isolated figure harried both by her attraction to other women and the incipient destruction of her beloved Europe in the 'Great Game' of Empire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sondeep Kandola\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0746311761\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780746311769\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Liverpool University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/01\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.28d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 04\/01\/2011 pg. 259","brand":"Sondeep Kandola","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44190568087807,"sku":"9780746311769","price":32.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_fb32a554-8ae3-445b-9c3c-29933f3a6e89.jpg?v=1690871235","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/vernon-lee-sondeep-kandola-9780746311769","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
