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. This volume contains a fantastic collection of Paget's best essays related to art or beauty that will appeal to those with a keen interest in aesthetics. Contents include: The Use of Beauty, A Psychological Art Fancy, A Study of Artistic Personality, Beauty and Sanity, Art and Usefulness, Tuscan Sculpture, and The Beautiful - An Introduction to Psychological Aesthetics.
