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 as an aesthetic critic
and his novel, Marius the Epicurean, was enthusiastically received
in Paris in the 1920s and published in Turin on the eve of the
Second World War. This collection traces the fortunes of Pater's
writings in these three major literatures and their reception in
Spain, Portugal, Poland, Hungary, and the Czech Republic.
