summary
In this collection of essays, distinguished scholars continue their careful research into the life and literature of Walter Pater. The book includes subjects for the apprentice as well as the expert: from a scandal during Pater's days at Oxford to the influences upon him by Wordsworth and Arnold, and in turn his influence on Hopkins and Joyce; from objections to traditional ways of view Pater's impressionist criticism and ethical concerns to analyses of his discriminating uses of historiography and architecture. Readers should not that the print version of Pater in the 1990s is out of print.
