Walter Pater and the Language of Sculpture is the first monograph
to discuss the Victorian critic Walter Pater's attitude to
sculpture. It brings together Pater's aesthetic theories with his
theories on language and writing, to demonstrate how his ideas of
the visual and written language are closely interlinked. Going
beyond Pater's views on sculpture as an art form, this study traces
the notion of relief (rilievo) and hybrid form in Pater, and his
view of the writer as sculptor, a carver in language. Alongside her
treatment of rilievo as a pervasive trope, Lene A~stermark-Johansen
also employs the idea of rivalry (paragone) more broadly, examining
Pater's concern with positioning himself as an art critic in the
late Victorian art world. Situating Pater within centuries of
European aesthetic theories as never before done, Walter Pater and
the Language of Sculpture throws new light on the extraordinary
complexity and coherence of Pater's writing: The critic is
repositioned solidly within Victorian art and literature.
