Belcaro - Being Essays on Sundry Aesthetical Questions is an 1881 collection of essays on the subject of aestheticism written by Vernon Lee. 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.
