Walter Pater is best known for his Studies in the History of the
Renaissance (1873) and for his first novel Marius the Epicurean
(1885). His short fiction deserves a much wider audience. This
edition includes the four intricate and influential narratives he
published as Imaginary Portraits in 1887 together with five of his
other portraits, published only in periodical form. Fully annotated
and supplemented by valuable contextual materials, this collection,
the first critical edition of Pater's shorter fiction, makes
accessible these extraordinary and impressive stories. This is the
inaugural volume of the 'Jewelled Tortoise', an MHRA series of
critical editions of significant aesthetic and decadent texts,
launched under the general editorship of Stefano Evangelista and
Catherine Maxwell. Lene Ostermark-Johansen is associate professor
in the Department of English, Germanic and Romance Studies at the
University of Copenhagen.
