	Walter Horatio Pater - LoveToKnow 1911
		In 1853 Walter Pater was sent to King's School, Canterbury, where he was early impressed by the aesthetic beauties of the cathedral.
		In it Pater displays, with perfected fullness and loving elaboration, his ideal of the aesthetic life, his cult of beauty as opposed to bare asceticism, and his theory of the stimulating effect of the pursuit of beauty as an ideal of its own.
		Pater changed his residence from time to time, living sometimes at Kensington and in different parts of Oxford; but the centre of his work and influence was always his rooms at Brasenose.

		Pater was the son of Richard Glode Pater (1797?—1842) a surgeon, and Maria Hill (Pater) (1803?-1854).

		Pater chose largely unfamiliar artists (he was one of the first to write in English on Botticelli, 1870), Moretto and Romanino, identifying qualities not yet appreciated in artists, as in the case of Watteau.

		On a far higher plane of literature stands Walter Pater; but he, though he was influenced by Ruskin, is singularly different from the elder writer, and the difference sheds back a light upon the master’s theories.
		Pater was one of the most fastidious of literary artists.
		Pater’s literary career began with the essay entitled Winckelmann, which he contributed, in 1867, to The Westminster Review, and this, with other papers contributed to periodicals, constituted the volume which was published in 1873.

	“The Last Thing Walter Wrote”: Pater's “Pascal”
		Plato is Pater's late model of diaphanous man. He joins to the sensuous felicity and openmindedness of Montaigne a firm belief in the need for intellectual rigor, physical discipline, and perseverance in the pursuit of the higher truth.
		Pater focuses on the apparent contradiction of Pascal's assertion that the truth of revelation must be based on evidence interpreted by the integrated powers of reason and imagination, and his assertion that the imagination only deceives the truth-seeker.
		Pater suggests that by denying himself the use of the imaginative part of imaginative reason, Pascal failed to achieve "true peace within the Catholic Church." The last words of Pater's essay say that the imagination was simply in "active collusion" with Pascal's physical illness.

	The "Illusive, Inscrutable, Mistakable" Walter Pater: an Introduction
		Walter Horatio Pater was born on 4th August 1839 near Stepney in London.

	Studies of Victorian Literature
		Yet Pater was clearly a man of exquisite sensitivity and rich emotion, and we can only estimate the gap there may have been between his aspirations for a more varied life and his dedication to his work.
		Pater cultivated the doctrine of art for its own sake because, in his early writing at least, he saw little possibility of using art toward some higher metaphysical or moral purpose.
		For all of the distance we may feel from Pater as a person and, indeed, as a critic, he remains a crucial figure in the development of modern thought.

	Art vs. aestheticism: the case of Walter Pater by Roger Kimball
		Part of what made Pater’s debut scandalous was the hothouse atmosphere that he reveled in: the ripe, over-ripe sensorium that was so distant from the brisk admonitions of such pragmatic partisans of culture as Matthew Arnold.
		Pater’s fascination with violence and death, with the interpenetration of death and beauty, was part of that ripeness.
		Pater attempted to provide a portrait of the “true Epicurean” in Marius the Epicurean (1885), an overwrought, somewhat ponderous autobiographical novel that describes the spiritual journey of its hero from paganism to the threshold of Christianity.

	Phlit: A Newsletter on Philosophy and Literature: Walter Pater, Zen, etc.: 2002-8 B
		Pater lacks the deep religious and moral feelings that one finds in Ruskin, who was born twenty years before Pater, and Pater never experienced the painful erosion of faith that Ruskin experienced.
		Pater, however, argues that culture conduces to an appreciation of the present: “the real business of education — insight, insight through culture, into all that the present moment holds in trust for us, as we stand so briefly in its presence.”6 While Thoreau approaches Zen through Nature, Pater approaches Zen through Culture.
		Pater insists that living in the moment doesn’t mean living for the moment: “Not pleasure, but fulness of life, and ‘insight’ as conducting to that fulness.”7 Pater’s world-view isn’t hedonism, Zen isn’t hedonism, meditation isn’t the way to pleasure.

		Walter H. May; this mansion, part of which was very old, was the favourite holiday-haunt of the little Paters, and a place of mystery and romance to Walter.
		Pater acted for some time as dean and tutor of his college, entering assiduously into the councils and discipline of the society, but he never accepted, if indeed it were ever offered, any university office.
		Walter Pater was another of those discreet spirits who, like Gray, “never speak out.” He was cautious, reserved, and shy in his relations even with his friends; he seemed to possess no medium through which to approach them very closely.

		Pater began contributing reviews and essays to the Westminster and the Fortnightly Reviews during the late 1860s, including pieces on the poetry of William Morris and the prose of Coleridge.
		In the second edition (1877), Pater suppressed the "Conclusion" on the grounds that "it might possibly mislead some of those young men into whose hands it might fall"--as he put it when restoring a version of the essay in the book's third edition (1888).
		Mallock's portrait hints at other proclivities beyond a taste for fine upholstery: Rose gazes "upon life as a chamber, which we decorate as we would decorate the chamber of the woman or the youth that we love," and is described as showing a special interest in young men.

		Says Perry Meisel (New York University), Frank Moliterno's The Dialectics of Sense and Spirit in Pater* and Joyce* helps to complete a movement in modernist scholarship that is long overdue--the demonstration of Walter Pater's central importance as High British Modernism's chief Victorian precursor.
		Moliterno presents often eye-opening accounts of Pater's decisive significance for Joyce in both his personal development and in the literary achievement that stems from it.

		Shuter first offers an account of the texts in the order in which they were written, paying close attention to the changes in Pater's thought and interests over time; he then returns to the earlier texts, showing how the later work serves, paradoxically, as an introduction to the earlier.
		Drawing extensively on unpublished manuscript material, Shuter reveals that Pater himself authorised rereadings of his work in an effort to rewrite his own literary past and the past of his culture.
		This new perspective on Pater's work uncovers patterns of continuity and anticipation that decisively alter our understanding of Pater and his writings.
