The British Institute of Florence. The Vernon Lee Library.
“After her death in 1935, some 350 books from Vernon Lee’s Library at the Villa ‘Il Palmerino’ were presented to the British Institute of Florence by her friend and executrix, Irene Cooper Willis. These reflect the wide range of Vernon Lee’s interests. ‘The width of her reading in scientific subjects,’ writes her biographer Peter Gunn, ‘and more particularly in the social sciences, is quite astonishing.’ Many of the books bear the dates of reading and re-reading, and are copiously annotated.
All the items in this collection can be found in the online catalogue, either by the classmark (prefixed by ‘VL’) or by the subject heading of ‘Lee, Vernon – former owner’.” (Home page presentation)
