Vernon Lee: Letters Home

Comprising nearly 1,000 pieces of correspondence, this collection is prized not only by scholars of Lee/Paget, but also by those researching her many correspondents. To date, just over 75 percent of the collection has been digitized. New content will be added as it becomes available. (Note: due to technological limitations, items of unknown dates are tagged and sorted with the year "1800.")
