| Synopsis: |
Reflecting Pater's diverse engagements with literature, the visual arts, history and philosophy, this collection of essays explores new interdisciplinary perspectives engaging readers and scholars alike to re-visit methodologies, intertextualities, metaphysical positions and stylistic features in the works of the Victorian essayist. A revised contextual portrait of Walter Pater in Victorian culture questions representations of the detached aesthete. Current editorial and biographical projects show Pater as fully responsive to the emergence of modern consumer culture and the changes in readership in Britain and the US. New critical views of rarely studied texts enhance the image of Pater as a cosmopolitan aesthete dialoguing with contemporary culture. Conceptual analysis of Pater's texts brings new light to the aesthetic paradox embodied by Pater, between artistic detachment and immersion in the Heraclitean flux of life. Finally, aestheticism is redefined as proposing new artistic and linguistic synthesis by merging art forms and embracing interart poetics. |
