Redirect

[edit]

Redirected to Vernon Lee#Biography; subject seems notable mainly for relationship with Vernon Lee, but notability is WP:NOTINHERITED. Her book seems to be mainly just listed in book/sales catalogs [1] and not mentioned in other books [2]. - GretLomborg (talk) 19:07, 19 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

I added the URL to the Dellamora page. If the other books are also available online, please add URLs. Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 13:42, 31 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Grandfather's military career

[edit]

Her grandfather, also John Anstruther-Thomson, was a career officer in the British Territorial Army.

Territorials are not regular (or 'career') officers. By definition, they are part-timers. In any case, the Territorial Army did not exist until 1908. This man commanded the Royal Fifeshire Yeomanry Cavalry from 1809 until 1823 - honourable, but perhaps not notable. Valetude (talk) 23:43, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Psychological/physiological

[edit]

Her collaboration with Vernon Lee in the 1890s inspired Lee's growing interests in the psychological aspect of aesthetics later in her career.

This statement in the lede is not represented in the main article. Are you sure you don't mean 'physiological aspect of aesthetics'? (Note: In 1897, they published the combined findings in the article "Beauty and Ugliness", which investigates the physiology of aesthetics.) Valetude (talk) 23:51, 18 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
