This title explores how Walter Pater and his contemporary aesthetes
were influenced by modern philosophies. 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 siecle,
contextualizing its comments in terms of Matthew Arnold, Oscar
Wilde, Vernon Lee and others, to offer a fully integrated account
of the intellectual cultures and currents in this period. It boldly
reassesses Pater's intellectual significance, arguing that he
self-consciously poised on the cusp between late-Victorian
Romanticism and Modernism. It imaginatively combines close readings
with cultural and intellectual history and biography to reconsider
individualism and philosophical thought in the Aesthetic Movement.
It provides the most substantial scholarly engagement with Pater's
unpublished manuscripts (held at the Houghton Library, Harvard
University).
