His first book, \u003ci\u003e Studies in the History of the Renaissance--\u003c\/i\u003eone of the most original and influential texts of the Victorian Aesthetic Movement--was described by Arthur Symons as \"the most beautiful book of prose in our literature,\" and his later work moved Vernon Lee to call him \"the natural exponent of the highest aesthetic doctrine.\" \u003ci\u003eSelected Essays\u003c\/i\u003e is a generous gathering of Pater's essays on literature, art, history, philosophy and mythology--all of them, in the words of Oscar Wilde, \"delicately wrought works of art.\" The selection is accompanied by Alex Wong's critical and biographical introduction and rich explanatory notes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Walter Horatio Pater\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1784106267\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781784106263\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Carcanet Classics\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/27\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 320\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.30w x 1.40d","brand":"Walter Horatio Pater","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078640070911,"sku":"9781784106263","price":26.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4dbdcc3c-c5bf-48a7-878b-cff0a25bcac0.jpg?v=1685476660","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/selected-essays-walter-horatio-pater-9781784106263","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
