Women on Philosophy of Art: Britain 1770-1900 (Oxford UP, 2024) is the first study of women's philosophies of art in long nineteenth-century Britain. It looks at seven women spanning the time from the Enlightenment to the beginning of modernism. They are Anna Barbauld, Joanna Baillie, Harriet Martineau, Anna Jameson, Frances Power Cobbe, Emilia Dilke, and Vernon Lee. The central issue that concerned them was how art related to morality and religion. Baillie and Martineau treated art as an agency of moral instruction, whereas Dilke and Lee argued that art must be made for beauty's sake. Barbauld, Jameson, and Cobbe thought that beauty and religion were linked, while other women believed that art and religion must be decoupled. Other topics explored are gender and genius, tragedy, literary realism, why we enjoy the sufferings of fictional characters, the hierarchy of the art-forms, whether art can transcend its historical circumstances, and critical issues around the artistic canon. Examining the print culture that made these women's interventions possible, this book shows that these women were doing a particular kind of philosophy of art, which was interdisciplinary and closely tied to artistic criticism and practice. The book traces how these seven women influenced one another, as well as engaging with their male contemporaries. But unlike their male interlocutors, these women have been unjustly left out of narratives about the history of aesthetics. By including these women, we can enrich and broaden our understanding of the history of philosophy of art. Alison Stone is a British philosopher. She is a Professor of European Philosophy in the Department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion at Lancaster University, UK. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature. YouTube channel.

Místa mají své génie, to znamená duchy, ale vlastně i zvláštní osobnosti, takové, které ona místa nějakým způsobem otevírají, dávají do nich nahlédnout, provázejí jimi, asociují se nám s nimi. Baví mě objevovat takové lidi, nejlépe zapadlé, zapomenuté, skryté pod vrstvami času, ale skrze jejich texty a daná místa stále přítomné, jaksi tajemně oživitelné.Všechny díly podcastu Ranní úvaha můžete pohodlně poslouchat v mobilní aplikaci mujRozhlas pro Android a iOS nebo na webu mujRozhlas.cz.

Imagining Musical Pasts: the Queer Literary Musicology of Vernon Lee, Rosa Newmarch, and Edward Prime-Stevenson (Clemson University Press, 2023) by Kristin M. Franseen explores the complicated archive of sources, interpretations, and people present in queer writings on opera and symphonic music from ca. 1880 to 1935. It focuses primarily on the work of three turn-of-the-twentieth-century music scholars--philosopher and horror writer Vernon Lee (pseud. Violet Paget), biographer and program note annotator Rosa Newmarch, and critic and amateur sexologist Edward Prime-Stevenson. All three were queer, all discussed music both as part of fiction and nonfiction writing, and all worked outside of the academy. Rather than finding a grand unifying theory of early queer musicology, Franseen has closely examined three idiosyncratic writers who struggled to stay true to their ideas of intellectual honesty while also writing about music, musical figures, and musical listening in quite different ways. By studying each scholar's individual approach to constructing and interpreting musical and sexual knowledge, the book draws attention to aspects of their work previously neglected or considered only in isolation. Franseen meditates on questions of what constitutes historical evidence, what role should gossip and rumor have in nonfiction writing, and what should count as musicology, as she discusses each person's work.

Many women wrote philosophy in nineteenth-century Britain, and they wrote across the full range of philosophical topics. Yet these important women thinkers have been left out of the philosophical canon and many of them are barely known today. The aim of Women Philosophers in Nineteenth-Century Britain (Oxford UP, 2023) is to put them back on the map. It introduces twelve women philosophers - Mary Shepherd, Harriet Martineau, Ada Lovelace, George Eliot, Frances Power Cobbe, Helena Blavatsky, Julia Wedgwood, Victoria Welby, Arabella Buckley, Annie Besant, Vernon Lee, and Constance Naden. Alison Stone looks at their views on naturalism, philosophy of mind, evolution, morality and religion, and progress in history. She shows how these women interacted and developed their philosophical views in conversation with one another, not only with their male contemporaries. The rich print and periodical culture of the period enabled these women to publish philosophy in forms accessible to a general readership, despite the restrictions women faced, such as having limited or no access to university education. Stone explains how these women became excluded from the history of philosophy because there was a cultural shift at the end of the nineteenth century towards specialised forms of philosophical writing, which depended on academic credentials that were still largely unavailable to women. Alison Stone is a British philosopher. She is a Professor of European Philosophy in the Department of Politics, Philosophy and Religion at Lancaster University, UK. Morteza Hajizadeh is a Ph.D. graduate in English from the University of Auckland in New Zealand. His research interests are Cultural Studies; Critical Theory; Environmental History; Medieval (Intellectual) History; Gothic Studies; 18th and 19th Century British Literature. YouTube channel.

Attilio Brilli"La grande incantatrice"Il fascino dell'Italia per i viaggiatori di ogni tempoUtet Librihttps://www.utetlibri.it/«Ero giunto a quel livello di emozione dove si incontrano le sensazioni celesti date dalle arti e i sentimenti appassionati. Uscendo da Santa Croce, ebbi un battito del cuore, la vita per me si era inaridita, camminavo temendo di cadere.» Stendhal«Venezia giace dinanzi ai nostri sguardi nel periodo finale della sua decadenza, un fantasma sulle sabbie del mare, così debole, così spoglia di tutto, tranne la propria grazia, che quando ne osserviamo il pallido riflesso sulla laguna, ci chiediamo quale sia la città, quale l'ombra.» John Ruskin«Conoscevo il Campidoglio e la sua posizione prima di conoscere il Louvre, e il Tevere prima della Senna.» Montaigne«Non è troppo fantasioso dire che ciascuno dei grandi capolavori italiani detiene le chiavi di qualche giardino segreto dell'immaginazione.» Edith WhartonTutti sanno che nel 1817 Stendhal, giunto al cospetto dei marmi di Santa Croce a Firenze, si sentì mancare. Ma le cronache sono piene di viaggiatori che in tutte le epoche, giunti per mare, a cavallo, in carrozza, treno o automobile, restano avvinti dalle meraviglie conturbanti dell'Italia. È una sensazione indefinibile, un misto di eccitazione, smarrimento, gioia e timore, qualcosa di simile insomma all'azione portentosa di un filtro d'amore. Non si tratta soltanto di “bellezza”, un termine tanto generico e ammansito da non fare quasi più effetto. Tutt'altro. Il fascino dell'Italia è vertiginoso, sbalestrante, assoluto. Charles Dickens, giunto alla sala dei Giganti di palazzo Te a Mantova, disse irritato che gli affreschi «facevano venire l'apoplessia», il contrario del «senso di armonia che dovrebbe comunicare un'opera d'arte». Charles de Brosses, dal canto suo, trovava la santa Teresa di Bernini troppo eccitante per una chiesa: «Se questo è amore divino, lo conosco anch'io perché se ne vedono tante copie in natura». E Lord Byron rimase stregato dalla cascata delle Marmore «orribilmente bella».Ma cos'è questa malia? Cos'è questo fascino violento che da secoli piega le ginocchia di viaggiatrici e viaggiatori, costringendoli a una sensuale devozione? Attilio Brilli scava tra i resoconti noti e meno noti, restituendo al mito del viaggio in Italia le sue radici più complete, che risalgono a ben prima della moda del Grand Tour. Con i suoi giardini ordinati oppure selvaggi, le ville magnifiche e le rovine romantiche, i borghi scavati nella roccia e il dedalo opulento di Roma, i dolci declivi collinari e le aguzze montagne, La grande incantatrice ha sempre saputo soggiogare le menti più brillanti del mondo.Eppure, da sempre, tutta questa bellezza noi italiani sappiamo come sperperarla, se già Montaigne, arrivato a Urbino nel 1581, non poté coronare il sogno di una visita alla biblioteca di Federico da Montefeltro perché purtroppo, come gli spiegarono gli imbarazzati cortigiani, le chiavi erano andate smarrite. È forse il nostro destino, essere gli svagati custodi di un tesoro inestimabile. Possiamo solo sperare che nonostante la nostra noncuranza l'Italia continui a essere, come sosteneva Vernon Lee, quella «favolosa soffitta colma di carabattole misteriose e di ammiccanti fantasmi nella quale soddisfare gli istinti elementari della finzione e del romanzesco».Attilio Brilli, già professore ordinario di letteratura angloamericana, è fra i massimi esperti di letteratura di viaggio. Tra i suoi ultimi libri: Il grande racconto del viaggio in Italia (Il Mulino 2019), Il grande racconto del favoloso Oriente (Il Mulino 2020), Le viaggiatrici del Gran Tour (Il Mulino 2020) e Venere seduttrice (Il Mulino 2022).IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEAscoltare fa Pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

Giuseppe Balducci"Misteri d'Italia" Mario PrazNino Aragno Editorehttps://www.ninoaragnoeditore.it/Anglista, comparatista, conservatore illuminato (senza rancidumi), Praz passeggia per Roma e la osserva tranquillamente deteriorarsi. Luoghi comuni, velleità, mode e furberie, vitia tutti italiani, che Praz passa in rassegna con esempi che gli sono passati dinanzi nella vita di tutti i giorni, di una società che, sul finire degli anni Cinquanta, si parla e sparla addosso, sono l'oggetto di questo libro, straordinario nella sua icasticità. Tre articoli di racconti, aneddoti, ricordi, Misteri d'Italia è testimonianza della collaborazione di Praz al «Borghese», settimanale fondato nel dopoguerra da Leo Longanesi. La collaborazione di Praz allo storico rotocalco si limitò a soli quattro articoli – mai pubblicati in volume, a parte Retrospettiva preraffaelita confluito nel suo opus magnum La casa della vita (1958). Praz non rinuncia a posare sulla realtà che lo circonda, e che sempre meno gli somiglia, il suo occhio acuto e beffardo di irregolare, delineando un trittico che ben sintetizza lo stile e lo spirito pungente del Professore.Mario Praz (1896-1982), critico letterario e saggista italiano, fu tra le personalità più importanti nel campo dell'anglistica italiana, indagò, in qualità di comparatista, l'influsso della cultura italiana in Inghilterra e illustrò singole figure, aspetti, periodi della letteratura inglese. Praz ha portato nei suoi studi e nella sua scrittura l'ampiezza e l'acutezza di visione che gli sono derivate dalle ampie conoscenze di letteratura comparata sul romanticismo e sul decadentismo; ha condotto studi sui rapporti tra arti visive e letterarie, concentrandosi in particolar modo sull'influsso della letteratura e della cultura italiana in Europa, con inclusione dei rapporti tra Italia e Inghilterra e del filone degli Inglesi in Italia, quali Vernon Lee.Giuseppe Balducci (1992) ha studiato presso l'Università degli Studi di Bari.

This weeks episode we sat down with Vernon Lee Junior who is the founder of the Hampton Roads youth foundation. We went over his history as an Air Force member, project manager consultant and now founder of the marathon which is a venture capital firm that is investing in to communities owned by minorities. Tune in for a great conversation.
Karen Rands, host of the Compassionate Capitalist Show, is joined by Vernon Lee, Jr., co-founder and managing partner of The Marathon Fund to talk about the shift in paradigm toward the realization that diverse founders of funded startups outperform traditional venture backed companies led by white male founders. The data is clear but the process for diverse founders to get funding to get started is muddy. The good news is that conversations started pre-2020 helped to shine the light on the challenges for access to capital for diverse founders that crystalized in 2020 and opened up the doors for more dedicated funding allocation in corporate equity, venture, and angel funds. Karen & Vernon dig into the topic and discuss the elevation and availability of capital for underserved for companies from start to growth stage: past, present & future.Mr. Vernon Lee, Jr is a Partner and Co-Founder of The Marathon Fund, an early-stage equity fund primarily investing in high-growth innovative businesses. The fund aims to deploy capital with exceptional entrepreneurs that have been historically underrepresented (Black, LatinX, Women, Disabled, Veterans, and LGBTQ) in the institutional private capital markets. Mr Lee is also a member of the Global Impact Fund II investment committee. Mr. Lee previously chaired the Venture Capital Access Program (VCAP), a partnership between The Marathon Foundation, Harvard Business School Alumni Angels of New York (HBSAANY), and the National Association of Investment Companies (NAIC).

Oke of Oakhurst Part 3 How awful Alice Oke is. Though the narrator praises her as a wonderful woman she seems wholly unpleasant to me, and though William Oke is painted as a bore, he seems a thoroughly decent and mistreated man driven to madness by his wife's caprices. William is so driven to distraction by his love for this teasing woman that when he begins to imagine he sees Lovelock, and then tries to not to show his reaction, she asks him whether he has seen Lovelock — his ghostly rival Was the ghost of Lovelock real? Was Alice Oke really the reincarnation of the former Alice Oke? We can read it both ways. Alice alludes to Lovelock being with her, but I was never sure whether this was just to tease her husband and she didn't mean literally, even as a spirt, but is essence as an idea. The issue of Oke thinking there would be no hops that year, when he previously has said it would be a bumper year and hops are there to be seen, is perhaps meant to indicate that he is losing his grip on reality. I cannot see any other reason for this incident to be reported to us. But I may be missing something. On the walk with the painter, Oke talks about having to save his wife from dishonouring herself “one way or another”. Perhaps the idea of killing her is already in his mind at this point, though I didn't guess that at the time. When he shoots her, the gun isn't mentioned right there and then, but we remember we were clearly told how he had been cleaning and preparing the guns around the house, so that was neatly set up. Alice Oke appears to have a Mixed Personalty Disorder with Histrionic and Narcissistic traits while William Oke seems to have sunk into a depression with psychotic features. Poor bloke, old William Oke. The story was originally called The Phantom Lover but Vernon Lee later renamed it, Oke of Oakhurst and I think that William Oke crazed murderer that he became is really the hero. Our painter/narrator is merely a camera lens though which we see the tragedy.

Oke of Oakhurst by Vernon Lee Vernon Lee Despite sounding so masculine, Vernon Lee was actually a woman called Violet Paget, born in France in 1856 and died in Italy in 1935. Despite these location she identified as English. Her biographer Vineta Colby says that Lee was English by nationality, French by an accident of birth and Italian by choice. As well as the ghost stories for which she is most famous, Vernon Lee, was an essayist who wrote about travel and art and especially aesthetics. Her parents were globe-trotting, or at least Europe-trotting intellectuals and in 1873, when Vernon or Violet was 17, they settled in Florence Italy. She stayed living in the vicinity of Florence until her death in 1935. Violet published her first collection of essays when she was 24. These dealt with Italian writers and dramatists and she later wrote on William Shakespeare and Renaissance Italy. She made fun of English artists, particularly the Pre-Raphaelites in her 1884 novel Mrs Brown. Politically, she was a convinced pacificst. She published under a masculine name because she feared that as a woman her writing would not be taken seriously. She was a feminist and mostly dressed as a man. Though she didn't come out, she did have crushes on women and was probably Lesbian. She suffered from health anxiety. She also fell out with other writers by making fun of them in her work; notably Henry James and Edith Wharton. Henry James wrote to his equally talented brother William warning him about Vernon Lee: the most able mind in Florence, ‘as dangerous and uncanny as she is intelligent.' Oke of Oakhurst In Part 1, the story begins with our narrator, the artist, talking to an unknown interlocutor about a painting assignment he had. He begins to talk about the wonderful and strange Mrs Alice Oke of Oakhurst, Kent. We learn that the stay with the Okes left an indelible impression on the painter, whose name I have not yet learned. We get the impression that the Okes are gone, possibly dead. Certainly, he will never be able to paint her. Some disaster has fallen. The painter painted the husband and the wife and he has no idea who know owns the portrait of Mr Oke. This suggests their home has been broken up as if in some terrible fate has befallen them. He didn't even finish the portrait of Mrs Oke. Vernon Lee withholds information to whet our appetite. She creates suspense. “I suppose the newspapers were full of it at the time.” So it was a scandal. “It really was stranger than anyone could have guessed.” Alice Oke is dead and her end was strange, but fitting. Lee tantalises us all the way. She was sent to our painter from heaven, “or the other place.” Who is this woman!?? I want to know. The narrator doesn't normally retell the story, but luckily for us, he chooses to on this occasion. Lee paints a very sympathetic picture of Mr Oke, very much in awe of his wife, but a decent sort and not without feelings and sensitivities. But she sets him up through the painter's eyes as the very antithesis of what the London Bohemian painter would admire. The painter sets off presuming Oke is the dullest of the dull, the very pinnacle of boring Tory county life. He had been a lieutenant in the Blues which is a nickname of the Royal Horseguards, a prestigious cavalry regiment in the British Army who had been, as its name suggests a royal bodyguard. In part 2 we get the background to Mr Oke. The painter is very disparaging. He portrays Oke as a dull young Kentish Tory with no imagination and no style. He refers to him as a ‘squireen' (which my spellcheck prefers to render as ‘squirrel') I guess this is a pejorative diminutive of ‘squire' with the Irish -een added. She comments on Mr Oke's frown: “A Maniac Frown”. Vernon Lee mentions this twice. We learn at the beginning that Mrs Oke is extremely desirous of having her portrait painted by this particular painter Support this podcast

O conto “Amour Dure”, publicado na coletânea de Contos fantásticos do século XIX escolhidos por Italo Calvino, da Companhia das Letras, é uma dessas obras que trazem o melhor do que conhecemos a respeito da narrativa fantástica. O narrador é Spiridion, um historiador polonês chamado pelo condado de Urbania, na Itália, em 1885, para uma pesquisa historiográfica sobre o local. Ele narra em seu diário a sua descoberta a respeito de personagens importantes do século XVI e, a partir desse momento, sua vida e a própria forma de narrar mudam de forma esplêndida. A escritora britânica Vernon Lee - pseudônimo de Violet Paget - (1856 - 1935), conhecida por sua ficção de horror, transitava sem dificuldades pelos estudos psicológicos e artísticos. Sendo defensora do Esteticismo, movimento artístico em que os valores estéticos na arte e na literatura são considerados mais importantes que os temas sociais, era conhecida também como uma autoridade em Renascença italiana. Além disso, Lee era feminista militante e se envolveu em movimentos pacifistas durante a Primeira Guerra Mundial. Ao conhecer um pouco mais a respeito da autora e ter acesso à sua obra, compreendemos como necessária a sua maior divulgação no Brasil e no meio literário.

In this episode, Ian and Nique are joined by https://twitter.com/vlee21?lang=en (Vernon Lee) to discuss the role of entrepreneurship as a catalyst for the uplift of black Americans. Vernon is a partner at the https://themarathonfund.com/ (Marathon Fund), an organization dedicated to supporting a new generation of underrepresented entrepreneurs with high potential for growth. Vernon argues that we need stronger institutions to act as a “pipeline” for minority Americans, teaching them the skills they need to be successful in their ventures. Most importantly, Vernon contends that black entrepreneurs need more opportunities to fail. Black men and women are much less likely than their white peers to be given a second chance by investors when one of their businesses fails. But any well-seasoned entrepreneur knows that a failed business can be an incredibly valuable asset in building a successful enterprise in the future. Later, Vernon shares how he grew into an entrepreneurial mindset in his own life. From running a paper route in middle school to being inspired by “Puppy Combs” to start a successful party-promotion venture in college, a few early touchpoints inspired Vernon to pursue entrepreneurship as a long-term career. Importantly, Vernon's life journey has closely mirrored the characteristics of successful black men outlined in Brad Wilcox and Ronald Mincy's “Black men making it in America” https://www.aei.org/research-products/report/black-men-making-it-in-america-the-engines-of-economic-success-for-black-men-in-america/ (report) — from following the success sequence closely to participating in a faith community and serving in the military.

The Story of Salome by Amelia B EdwardsWe did https://player.captivate.fm/episode/9913ad9b-e382-4acb-a42a-1000157a734c (The Phantom Coach )by Amelia B Edwards as Episode 8, which seems a long time ago now. That was a splendidly written story too. To remind ourselves: Amelia Edwards was born in 1831 in London, England. As such she is one of the oldest writers we’ve read so far in this podcast. She died aged only 60 in Weston Supermare, a seaside resort in the west of England. She came from a wealthy background and didn’t have to work, but she was a very successful writer based on her own talents. She was born in London to an Irish mother and a father who had been a British army officer before becoming a banker. She was in fact a very talented woman and had the potential to be a professional artist though her father, a banker, frowned on that as a career. She also made home with a woman, long before such things were accepted by polite British society. She was also an Egyptologist and after a cruise down the Nile and a long stay among the monuments, she devoted all of her efforts to saving the Egyptian monuments and took a lecture tour over several years in the United States to promote the cause. I found this Story of Salome in the https://amzn.to/3nfbbDJ (Virago Book of Ghost Stories) Edited by Richard Dalby. Richard Dalby had great taste in stories and there are lots of good ones in this anthology. You may, or may not, know that I have a fondness for Venice. I have read this Story of Salome, on the podcast as well as Ray Russell’s https://tonywalker.substack.com/p/s0202-vendetta-by-ray-russell (Vendetta) and Vernon Lee’s https://player.captivate.fm/episode/b2eed482-997c-4621-9f2a-42361174312f (A Wicked Voice). I have also written my own Christmas ghost story set in Venice which is available in my More Christmas Ghost Stories, soon to be out as an audiobook once Audible get their finger out. If you can’t wait for Audible, Audiobookstore has it https://audiobookstore.com/audiobooks/more-christmas-ghost-stories.aspx (here) The subject of the story is Salome, daughter of Isaac. She is Jewish and inevitably this throws up attitudes that make me uncomfortable. I do not think this is an anti Semitic story though it does have the theme of converting Salome to Christianity. It is of its period but better than many in its attitudes. I think it very well written and was easy to narrate without the tripping syntax of James or the excitable lists and adjectives of Dickens. Edwards performs the trick of portraying a main character who is reasonably convinced that the grave belongs to Salome’s aged father Isaac, rather that to her. In the end, when the truth is almost impossible to ignore she had a nice little run of him convincing himself that there must be another Salome, that his Salome can’t be dead. We’ve all been there, trying to kid ourselves that something isn’t true when we know fine well it must be. And the description of his flighty friend, Coventy Turnour, loving Salome followed by a disinterested account by our main character only to slowly reveal that he himself is infatuated with her. This is the same trick as him believing the grave is Salome’s fathers. We the readers and listeners know before he admits it to himself both that he loves Salome and that she is dead. And he finds her more beautiful as a ghost, though he doesn’t know it. He talks about her more spiritual beauty. One mystery is why Turnour left Venice. He lost hope in winning Salome quite suddenly, and left. She in her turn converted secretly to Christianity. It’s not explained why, but I wonder whether it was something to do with Turnour? Did she convert for Turnour’s sake and then he grew bored of her and abandoned her? His copying of the inscription on the tomb is the key to understanding the fate of Salome. Tantalisingly, he has the secret in his hands but can’t read it. He sends it to a laggardly professor... Support this podcast

A story from Vernon Lee offering another view on the Nativity... it begins "Now I cannot affirm that things did really take place in this manner, but it greatly please me to think that they did." Fra Domincio Cavalca...
Definition of empathy (Mirriam Webster Dictionary)1: the action of understanding, being aware of, being sensitive to, and vicariously experiencing the feelings, thoughts, and experience of another of either the past or present without having the feelings, thoughts, and experience fully communicated in an objectively explicit mannerEmpathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within their frame of reference, that is, the capacity to place oneself in another's position.[1] Definitions of empathy encompass a broad range of emotional states. Types of empathy include cognitive empathy, emotional (or affective) empathy, and somatic empathy.[2][3] (Wikipedia)The English word empathy is derived from the Ancient Greek word ἐμπάθεια (empatheia, meaning "physical affection or passion").[4] This, in turn, comes from ἐν (en, "in, at") and πάθος (pathos, "passion" or "suffering").[5] The term was adapted by Hermann Lotze and Robert Vischer to create the German word Einfühlung ("feeling into"). This was described for the first time in English by the British critic and author, Vernon Lee, who explained "the word sympathy, with-feeling... is exercised only when our feelings enter, and are absorbed into, the form we perceive."[6] Einfühlung was officially translated by Edward B. Titchener in 1909 into the English word "empathy".[7][8][9] However, in modern Greek: εμπάθεια means, depending on context: prejudice, malevolence, malice, and hatred.[10]Classification: Empathy is generally divided into two major components:[25]Affective empathyAffective empathy, also called emotional empathy:[26] the capacity to respond with an appropriate emotion to another's mental states.[25] …Cognitive empathyCognitive empathy: the capacity to understand another's perspective or mental state.More at: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EmpathySupport the show (https://www.facebook.com/groups/allaroundgrowth)

George Eliot's famous classic novel Middlemarch has been republished under the author's real name. The author Mary Ann Evans used a male pseudonym to sell more books. Her book Middlemarch, which received several accolades, was originally published in eight installments from 1871 to 1872. The novel narrated what provincial life looked like in the fictitious town of Middlemarch. The story featured characters from different walks of life and focused on the struggles of the main character Dorothea with her marriage. Under the pseudonym George Eliot, Evans also authored Adam Bede, The Mill on the Floss, and Silas Marner. Middlemarch is only one of 25 titles by female authors re-released under their writers' real names. The practice of using male pseudonyms was common among 19th-century female authors. Other authors who did the same include Violet Paget, whose pen name was Vernon Lee, Charlotte Brontë, who originally published Jane Eyre as Currer Bell, and her sister Emily, who wrote Wuthering Heights under the name Ellis Bell. The re-publication of the classic novels is part of the Reclaim Her Name campaign, which marks the 25th anniversary of the Women's Prize for Fiction. Novelist Kate Mosse launched the Women's Prize in 1996 to recognize female writers. E-books of titles under the Reclaim Her Name collection can be downloaded for free. In addition, physical copies of the books with cover art by female designers have been donated to the British Library. According to the organization behind the project, the Reclaim Her Name initiative was started to make women writers more visible, give them the credit that they deserve, and encourage conversations about the challenges they have faced in the literary field.

Vernon Lee Despite sounding so masculine, Vernon Lee was actually a woman called Violet Paget, born in France in 1856 and died in Italy in 1935. Despite these location she identified as English. Her biographer Vineta Colby says that Lee was English by nationality, French by an accident of birth and Italian by choice. As well as the ghost stories for which she is most famous, Vernon Lee, was an essayist who wrote about travel and art and especially aesthetics. Her parents were globe-trotting, or at least Europe-trotting intellectuals and in 1873, when Vernon or Violet was 17, they settled in Florence Italy. She stayed living in the vicinity of Florence until her death in 1935. Violet published her first collection of essays when she was 24. These dealt with Italian writers and dramatists and she later wrote on William Shakespeare and Renaissance Italy. She made fun of English artists, particularly the Pre-Raphaelites in her 1884 novel Mrs Brown. Politically, she was a convinced pacificst. She published under a masculine name because she feared that as a woman her writing would not be taken seriously. She was a feminist and mostly dressed as a man. Though she didn’t come out, she did have crushes on women and was probably Lesbian. She suffered from health anxiety. She also fell out with other writers by making fun of them in her work; notably Henry James and Edith Wharton. Henry James wrote to his equally talented brother William warning him about Vernon Lee: the most able mind in Florence, ‘as dangerous and uncanny as she is intelligent.’ A Wicked Voice I had wanted an Italian based ghost story to continue the theme of stories set on the continent of Europe. There was not much choice! Of course there is Don’t Look Now, by Daphne Du Maurier, which I read myself but which is in copyright still and so reading it out would count as a breach. As the Podcast goes on from strength to strength, I may look into whether I would be given permission to read out stories that are in copyright still, such as I did with Along the Old Track by Sam Hicks. I read A Wicked Voice three times. By the end, I quite liked it. It’s obvious that Vernon Lee is interested in aesthetics as we have all that moonlight and blue mist and Venice languishing like a lily and the scent of the white flowers that remind the narrator of peaches. Not to mention the threshing at the farms in Mistra and the lights and music in the old cathedral at Padua! Basically the story, with all that cut out, is quite simple. I’m not sure it needs the frame at the beginning and end either; first of the narrator looking back and beginning to tell and then at the end telling of his possibly recovery. Zaffarino, to give him his nickname, has a ring with cabalistic signs. An allusion to Tartini doing a deal with the Devil to make powerful music is mentioned and so we must guess that Zaffarino has been given the power to make women love him in his music, and also the power to kill, by Old Nick himself. Though Zaffarino is described as beautiful, he is often also referred to as effeminate. I am guessing he may be a castrato? What else did he give up for his art? So the story follows the narrator who is haunted by the scent of white flowers and Zaffarino’s ghostly voice. As promised, the voice makes him fall in love with it, and it almost kills him. But not quite. I’m not sure why not? Because he interrupted the final cadenza by bursting into the haunted room perhaps?

In this episode, I’m joined by Patricia Pulham, Professor of Victorian Literature at The University of Surrey, to discuss Vernon Lee’s collection of supernatural tales, Hauntings (1890). The book collects four of Vernon Lee’s ghost stories, ‘Amour Dure’, ‘Dionea’, ‘Oke of Okehurst’, and ‘A Wicked Voice’, which together represent some of the finest examples of the genre, and reflect Lee’s deep engagement with Italian art, her sensitivity to place, and her imaginative relationship with the vestigial, fragmentary manifestations of history. Over the course of the programme, we discuss Lee’s preference for a more restrained form of horror, her evocation of the settings in her texts, and take an in-depth look at music in her story, ‘A Wicked Voice’.

In an effort to atone for the damage done during the Book Battle episode, Jack and Kate trade short story selections designed to delight one another. Do their efforts succeed?
