Copertina di Vernon Lee: Vanitas (PDF)

When viewed in light of the fact that "Vernon Lee" was actually a pseudonym for female writer Violet Paget, the engaging tales collected in Vanitas become all the more interesting. These stories cast light on the silly, superficial and sometimes unsavory attitudes and behaviors of the so-called fairer sex.
