    Matthews, Pamela R. Aesthetic Subjects.  2003
    
    Recent calls for a return to aesthetics occur precisely at a moment when it is increasingly evident that nothing concerning aesthetics is self-evident anymore.

Glasgow’s originality of mind and abiding fascination with her native South are in abundant display in this new selection of her correspondence with women.
