Synopsis
The Keepsake is a Victorian anthology edited by the Countess of Blessington that compiles short fiction, verse, legends, and travel sketches from a range of mid-19th-century writers. It opens with Beatrice di Tenda, a historical romance by William Harrison Ainsworth, set in Milan during the 15th century, detailing Beatrice and her perilous entanglement with Filippo Visconti. The volume then traverses a spectrum of genres—from legends in Legends of the Dekhan such as The Fatal Armlet and The Monomaniac to social sketches like The Two Roses, and to lyrical meditations by Bulwer, Landor, and others. It includes tales from Italy, Germany, and India, with moral and fantastical undertones and a constant preoccupation with love, honor, power, and fate. The Keepsake thus offers a mosaic of mid-Victorian romantic imagination, blending high melodrama with reflective lyric, and illustrating the era’s fascination with exotic locales and the supernatural.
