He brought his extensive knowledge of the history of art to bear on the new problem of how to explain the very personal affective response to beauty, and raised this into a central concern of aesthetic and philosophical thought. His ideas still shape modern assumptions about how art plays on our feelings and intellectual responses. This edition of Pater's complete works was published in 1900–1 in a limited edition of 775 copies. This collection of essays, first published in 1889, was Pater's only literary-critical work until the posthumous publication of his reviews from The Guardian (the ninth volume in this edition). His well-known essay 'Style', written from the perspective of a critic and a novelist, opens the volume. The other essays include his readings of Thomas Browne, Wordsworth and Coleridge, Shakespeare and D. G. Rossetti.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eStyle\u003cbr\u003e Wordsworth\u003cbr\u003e Coleridge\u003cbr\u003e Charles Lamb\u003cbr\u003e Sir Thomas Browne\u003cbr\u003e Love's Labours Lost\u003cbr\u003e Measure for Measure\u003cbr\u003e Shakespeare's English kings\u003cbr\u003e Dante Gabriel Rossetti\u003cbr\u003e Feuillet's La Morte\u003cbr\u003e Postscript.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003eSubject Areas: Literary studies: c 1800 to c 1900 [\u003ca title=\"See our other books on Literary studies: c 1800 to c 1900\" href=\"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/search?q=%22Literary%20studies:%20c%201800%20to%20c%201900%20%20%5BDSBF%5D%22\"\u003eDSBF\u003c\/a\u003e]\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Cambridge University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46004478083352,"sku":"9781108034272","price":24.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0730\/2037\/5320\/products\/9781108034272i_3425f891-ba14-445a-b7d7-6e2efb69b19f.jpg?v=1694873784","url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/the-works-of-walter-pater-paperback-9781108034272","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
