| Summary | "Renaissance Fancies and Studies" by Vernon Lee is a collection of essays written in the late 19th century. This work examines the intersection of art, literature, and the historical context of the Renaissance, with a particular emphasis on personal impressions and critical insights gleaned from various artworks and cultural phenomena of the time. The essays delve into themes such as the emotional depth of medieval hymns and the foundational influences of figures like St. Francis of Assisi. The opening of the book begins with a preface, where the author expresses gratitude to friends and acknowledges the influences on her perspectives. Following the preface, the first essay, "The Love of the Saints," reflects on the emotional power and cultural significance of medieval hymns, connecting them to the broader spiritual rebirth of the Renaissance. Lee discusses the personal and societal implications of religious emotions, highlighting the importance of these primitive expressions in paving the way for the artistic and literary flourishes that characterized the Renaissance. The analysis is rich with historical references and personal sentiments that set the tone for the collection's exploration of art and the human experience.
