- Summary:
- Among Victorian writers, Pater (1839-1894) challenged academic and religious orthodoxies, defended 'the love of art for its own sake', developed a new genre of prose fiction (the 'imaginary portrait'), set new standards for intermedial and cross-disciplinary criticism, and made 'style' the watchword for creativity and life. Everywhere creating themes and resonances that span his narrative, the author's voice in 'Gaston de Latour' is intensely personal; and the reader's experience is intimate, almost invasive. Although unfinished and first posthumously published in 1896, the novel was hailed by Richard Le Gallienne 'as sensitively beautiful as in his most perfect work, as rich in delicate colour and music, and as remarkable for exquisite detail.' This edition includes six additional suppressed chapters by Pater of varying degrees of completeness.
