Michael Levey chronicles Pater's quiet yet revolutionary life with scholarly precision and elegant prose, illuminating the man behind such seminal works as Studies in the History of the Renaissance and Marius the Epicurean. With a tone that is both authoritative and sympathetic, Levey uncovers the tensions between Pater's intensely private nature and his outsized impact on the Aesthetic Movement, tracing his influence on writers from Oscar Wilde to W. B. Yeats. The biography argues compellingly that Pater has long been misread and undervalued, and it restores him to his rightful place as a central, daring voice in nineteenth-century intellectual and artistic life.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48763139915995,"sku":"2026200004762-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/573431e2-998e-454f-9fbb-78661ae36821.png?v=1778499249","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200004762-secondhand-the-case-of-walter-pater","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
