F. Vernon Requests a Letter Forwarded to Mr. Bruce by Henry Knox, 31 January 1789
Written from Demerara (he spells it Demarara), likely in present-day Guyana. Writes, A Confidence in your goodness has embolden'd me to request of you to forward the inclosed to Mr [possibly Stephen] Bruce. I should not presume to trouble you did I know of any safe conveyance other ways - I must beg you to excuse the freedom.
Vernon Lee
A startlingly original study, Vernon Lee adds new dimensions to the legacy of this woman of letters whose career spans the transition from the late Victorian to the modernist period. Christa Zorn draws on archival materials to discuss Lee's work in terms of British aestheticism and in the context of the Western European history of ideas.
Vernon F. Sheedy Papers
General description of the collection: This collection consists of the "1141st Quartermaster Company, Service Group, AVN (RS), Company Log, 1942-1945," written by Vernon F. Sheedy and edited by Marion D. Fulton and Edward J. Conway in April 1982. The Company Log documents the day to day workings of the 1141st Quartermaster Company from the formation of the 188th on 20 April 1942 through 7 November 1945 when the 662nd left England for Germany. In addition to official entries on personnel and duties, the log contains information on social events and happenings on their base. The log also tracks the careers of former 1141st men who transferred to the bomber crews.
Art and the Transitional Object in Vernon Lee's Supernatural Tales
In her persuasively argued study, Patricia Pulham astutely combines psychoanalytic theory with socio-historical criticism to examine a selection of fantastic tales by the female aesthete and intellectual Vernon Lee (Violet Paget, 1856-1935). Lee's own definition of the supernatural in the preface to Hauntings questions the nature of the 'genuine ghost', and argues that this figure is not found in the Society of Psychical Research but in our own psyches, where it functions as a mediator between past and present. Using D.W. Winnicott's 'transitional object' theory, which maintains that adults transfer their childhood engagement with toys to art and cultural artifacts, Pulham argues that the prevalence of the past in Lee's tales signifies not only an historical but a psychic past. Thus the 'ghosts' that haunt Lee's supernatural fiction, as well as her aesthetic, psychological, and historical writings, held complex meanings for her that were fundamental to her intellectual development and allowed her to explore alternative identities that permit the expression of transgressive sexualities.
