V. Research resources
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)

partially dated letters … For an estimated 650-675 letters—letters that perhaps
did not survive the Second World War, or letters that emerged from private
collections only long enough for Edel to consult them, or letters that continue
to circulate privately without leaving a public trail through auction
houses—Edel’s files contain the only known records of their existence. Should
the originals never surface, then Edel’s papers will be the ultimate source for
information on as much as 5% of the James epistolarium” (Jobe HJR 21: 292).
