[Gutenberg 2399] • Imaginary Portraits 1

Out of print for decades, the enchanting classics in this new edition will be welcomed by teachers and students of literature, art history, and aesthetics. Written by an esteemed nineteenth-century scholar of Renaissance art and literature, the "imaginary portraits" are fictionalized accounts of historic figures, with the search for a new aesthetic as the common thread.  *The Child in the House* , out of print since 1904, appears in this treasured new edition, along with *Gaston de Latour* , an unfinished novel.
