Abstract

"The multidisciplinary aesthetics of Walter Pater, the nineteenth century's most provocative critic, are explored by an international team of scholars. True aesthetic criticism takes place working across the arts, Pater insists: acknowledging the differences between media, but seeking possibilities of interconnection"--

Abstract

Just over a century after his death, Walter Pater's critical reputation now stands as high as it has ever been. In the English-speaking world, this has involved recovery from the widespread neglect and indifference which attended his work in the first half of the twentieth century. In Europe, however, enthusiastic disciples such as Hugo von Hofmannsthal in the German-speaking world and Charles Du Bos in France, helped to fuel a growing awareness of his writings as central to the emergence of modernist literature. Translations of works like Imaginary Portraits, established his distinctive voice

Abstract

Exploring the intricacy and complexity of Walter Pater's prose, Transfigured World challenges traditional approaches to Pater and shows precise ways in which the form of his prose expresses its content. Carolyn Williams asserts that Pater's aestheticism and his historicism should be understood as dialectically interrelated critical strategies, inextricable from each other in practice. Williams discusses the explicit and embedded narratives that play a crucial role in Pater's aesthetic criticism and examines the figures that compose these narratives, including rhetorical tropes, structures of argument such as genealogy, and historical or fictional personae.

Abstract

Repositioning Walter Pater at the philosophical nexus of Aestheticism, this study presents the first discussion of how Pater redefines Romantic Individualism through his engagements with modern philosophical discourses and in the context of emerging modernity in Britain. It also considers the dynamics between form and thought at the fin de siècle, contextualizing its comments in terms of Matthew Arnold, Oscar Wilde and Vernon Lee and others, to offer a fully integrated account of the intellectual cultures and currents in this period.

Abstract

Cet ouvrage s'inscrit dans le cadre de la redécouverte, dans l'espace francophone, de l'oeuvre critique de Walter Pater (1839-1894). Il est consacré à sa critique littéraire très souvent négligée en dépit de sa richesse et de l'éclairage qu'elle apporte sur les questions essentielles de l'analyse et la réflexion littéraires. À travers une lecture où l'oeuvre dialogue avec la psychanalyse, il fait ressortir la pertinence actuelle des écrits patériens. Pater reformule en effet les notions établies de la critique pour les inscrire dans une perspective historique et subjective où la littérature devient nouage du temps et du sujet. Qu'il évoque les grands auteurs romantiques que sont Wordsworth et Coleridge, qu'il fasse le portrait littéraire de Mérimée ou de Lamb, qu'il élabore une approche du style et une vision tout à fait singulière de l'histoire littéraire, Pater est le talentueux critique de l'ère de l'autonomisation littéraire où la question de l'esthétique, se redouble de celle de l'éthique.

Abstract

Walter Pater is increasingly gaining recognition as a pivotal figure in nineteenth-century culture. His later work is often regarded as an effort to distance himself from his earlier, more controversial texts. In this 1997 book, William F. Shuter argues that Pater's writings demand a twofold reading. Shuter first offers an account of the texts in the order in which they were written, paying close attention to the changes in Pater's thought and interests over time; he then returns to the earlier texts, showing how the later work serves, paradoxically, as an introduction to the earlier. Drawing extensively on unpublished manuscript material, Shuter reveals that Pater himself authorised rereadings of his work in an effort to rewrite his own literary past and the past of his culture. This perspective on Pater's work uncovers patterns of continuity and anticipation that decisively alter our understanding of Pater and his writings.
