Ottilie: An Eighteenth Century Idyl is a novel written by Vernon Lee and published in 1893. The story is set in the 18th century and follows the life of Ottilie, a young woman who is forced to marry a man she does not love. Despite her unhappy marriage, Ottilie finds solace in her love for music and art. She becomes friends with a group of artists who introduce her to new ideas and ways of thinking. Through her interactions with this group, Ottilie begins to question the traditional roles of women in society and the constraints placed upon them. The novel explores themes of love, freedom, and individuality in the context of a society that values conformity and obedience. Lee's writing style is descriptive and lyrical, evoking the beauty and elegance of the 18th century. Overall, Ottilie: An Eighteenth Century Idyl is a thought-provoking and engaging novel that offers a glimpse into the lives of women in the past and their struggles for autonomy and self-expression.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
