Wolfgang Iser's study of Walter Pater (1839 94) was first published
in German in 1960. It places the English critic, essayist and
novelist in a philosophical tradition whose major exponents were
Hegel and Coleridge, at the same time showing how Pater differed
crucially from these thinkers to become representative of a late
Victorian culture critically poised in transition between
Romanticism and Modernism. Pater's new definitions of 'beauty' and
'style' in art, his doctrine of 'art for art's sake', his
preoccupation with aesthetic existence, his fascination with
periods of balance and historical transition are seen in the light
of his scepticism towards all systematisation and his view of art
as countering human finiteness by capturing the intensity of the
moment. This important book, which remains as illuminating now as
when it first appeared, will interest those interested in
philosophy and aesthetics and Pater specialists alike.
