Cover of Walter Pater: Appreciations: With an Essay on Style (Barnes & Noble Digital Library) (ePUB)

Published in 1889, and revised in 1890, this essay was a clarion call by Pater for art criticism based on subjective emotional, rather than moralistic, criteria. It was met with controversy, with some critics going so far as to accuse Pater of immorality and outright hedonism.

About the author

Walter Pater (1839-1894) was a British critic and essayist who championed the idea of ‘art for art’s sake, ‘ which was later used by such figures as Oscar Wilde and other devotees of Aestheticism. His essays on art and literature were printed in his Studies in the History of the Renaissance (1873), one of his most famous works.
