    [Expo. 3.1 (2009) 23–40] Expositions (print) ISSN 1747-5368 doi:10.1558/expo.v3i1.23 Expositions (online) ISSN 1747-5376 Pater’s Portraits: The Aesthetic Hero in 1890 (Part II) GERALD MONSMAN University of Arizona [email protected] Abstract In conjunction with Walter Pater’s unfinished manuscript, “Gaudioso, the Second,” recently published in Expositions (Monsman 2008), a sec- ond manuscript fragment from among Pater’s papers is now also printed here for the first time: “Tibalt the Albigense” (circa 1890). Not long after Pater began research for his never-finished second novel,Gaston de Latour (1888/1995), he simultaneously began reading for his imaginary portrait of “Tibalt,” dealing with the prelude to the bloody Albigensian crusade. Like Gaston, “Tibalt” was to be set in France against the turbulent back- ground of religious warfare. But in contrast to the brutality of sectarian slaughter in Gaston, Pater elevates aesthetic experience to a mystical and Platonically mythic level of enchantment. From his first aesthetic portrait, “The Child in the House” (1878)—a defense of his aestheticism inStudies in the History of the Renaissance (1873)—to “Tibalt the Albigense,” Pater’s fascination with the transformative power of beauty at the turning- points of religious/cultural history is the major thrust of all his writings. Keywords: Albigensian Heresy, Aesthetic Hero, Walter Pater, Aestheticism, Medieval France Walter Pater, essayist and critic, began publishing fiction belatedly in his career, in his thirty-eighth year, when he wrote the poetically evocative allegory of “The Child in the House” (1878). It is a covert self-portrait of his fascination with beauty and pain that developed as he grew up in a quintessentially Victorian home.

  • Walter Pater (1839-1894)
    WALTER PATER (1839-1894) Walter Horatio Pater was, along with A. C. Swinburne, Simeon Solomon, and Whistler, one of the controversial nineteenth-century English aesthetes. Like them he was much influenced by continental ideas and art, and like Swinburne he began publishing as a critic in the journals in the 1860s. Valuing the form and architectonics of art and life, and the aesthetic experience they allegedly offered above any moral or religious messages in his early work, Pater explicitly resisted Matthew Arnold’s and John Ruskin’s spiritual Elliott & Fry. Walter Pater. and political agendas. Pursuing his notion of the Half-plate glass copy “aesthetic critic” (1873), Pater created a unique series of negative. Circa 1890s, National Portrait Gallery, article-essays in the press from 1866, first on aesthetics London. and on modern English poets (Coleridge and William Morris), and then, from 1869, on Renaissance art, philosophy, and literature. In 1873 he shaped a Macmillan book out of some of these. Studies in the History of the Renaissance, despite its title, deployed the last section of the Morris article as its Conclusion and spanned the twelfth century to the eighteenth. Notable for their artfully honed prose, its chapters, like a modern-day Vasari, conflated biography, history, and character to develop a genre that Pater later called “imaginary portraits” and “appreciations.” Likewise in the 1880s he explicated the aesthetics of prose in “Style” (1888), an article indebted to his recent review of Flaubert. With Studies 1 Pater attracted both admiration and revulsion, resulting in a gap of a dozen years before publication of his next book, an historical novel, Marius the Epicurean, an attempt to explain the hedonism for which Studies had been castigated.

  • Rethinking the Cultural Divide: Walter Pater, Wilkie Collins, and the Legacies of Wordsworthian Aesthetics
    Rethinking the Cultural Divide: Walter Pater, Wilkie Collins, and the Legacies of Wordsworthian Aesthetics NOEL B. JACKSON Massachusetts Institute of Technology In discussions of the division between high art and mass culture, few notions have secured more consensus than that concerning the basis upon which we generally make such distinctions in the first place. In an argument that has proved exceedingly influential for our theoretical understanding of the so-called cultural divide, Pierre Bourdieu in Dis- tinction (1979) described as the defining characteristic of elite aesthetics “a refusal of ‘impure’ taste and of aisthesis (sensation), the simple, prim- itive form of pleasure reduced to a pleasure of the senses.”1 On this (widely shared) account, the refusal of sensation represents not merely a site but the primary source of the cultural divide, which has both its origin and its strongest basis in the rupture between sensuous and re- flective aesthetic experience. If the distinction between elite and popular culture is now com- monly regarded as having its theoretical basis in the refusal of sensa- tion, critics are just as united in dating this refusal to the period of European Romanticism. In the widely cited “Postscript” to Distinction, Bourdieu finds the theoretical grounding for “high” literary aesthetics in Immanuel Kant’s Critique of Judgment (1790), particularly in Kant’s insistence that the basis for the subjective universal validity of aesthetic experience resides not in bodily sense but rather in the higher cognitive For valuable assistance with this essay, I wish to thank Marshall Brown, Jim Chandler, Bo-Mi Choi, Charles Rzepka, Jon Sachs, the editors of and peer reviewers for Modern Philology, and the audiences at several forums in which I presented early versions of this work, including the 2002 International Conference on Romanticism in Tallahas- see, Florida, the MIT History/Literature Workshop, and the Romantic Literature and Culture Seminar at Harvard University.

As indicated by its title, the book is interdisciplinary: the visual arts and literature, both prose and fiction. My juxtaposition of language and sculpture in the title encompasses a range of different aspects of the literary and the sculptural in Pater’s writings: Sculpture as an art form The plasticity of language and prose style Sculpture as metaphor The critical language employed in discussions of individual works of sculpture Sculpture as a state of mind, an image of the process of thought The etymological and semantic stratification of language as essentially sculptural My definition of sculpture is broad and covers far more than three-dimensional sculpture in the round.

But Pater’s discussion of the literature of the troubadours also helps him legitimize contemporary Pre-Raphaelite and “Aesthetic” artists in a context of criticism levelled against their works. Defending those recent trends in literature and painting is one of Pater’s main concerns, and he considers Provence as a literary and aesthetic tradition that originates in Greece and comprises contemporary artists and poets such as William Morris and D.G.

  • Gerard Manley Hopkins and Walter Pater: the Labyrinths of Transience 85
    Gerard Manley Hopkins and Walter Pater: The Labyrinths of Transience 85 ACTA NEOPHILOLOGICA UDK: 821.111.09Hopkins G.M.:821.111.09Pater W. DOI: 10.4312/an.49.1-2.85-108 Gerard Manley Hopkins and Walter Pater: The Labyrinths of Transience Mirko Starčević Abstract Transience forming life’s very essence left an indelible mark on the creative explorations of Gerard Manley Hopkins and Walter Pater. The permanently indeterminable presence of mutability made both of them face the umbrous and unknowable aspect of death, thus revealing unto them the task of determining the role of art in life ruled by ceaseless cor- rosion. Pater accepts the flux of mutability as the primary particle in the revelatory act of the authentic creative experience. The power of that which is frolicsome in art augments the constitution of life’s essence submerged in the unsettled condition of fate. Hopkins the priest particularly in his theoretic excursions recognizes in art itself only an approximate value to the timeless grandeur of God’s ubiquity. His poetry, however, presents a dissimilar narrative. The poetic image that Hopkins forges corresponds to the mode of exposed indi- viduality of the Romantic spirit, which Pater perceives as the harmony of strangeness and beauty. During Hopkins’ student days at Oxford, Pater’s relationship to the young poet was not confined to coaching only. Much of their time they spent in conversation, meditating upon the essential principles of artistic expression. Pater influenced Hopkins greatly and contributed impressively to the discipline of his poetic heart. Traces of this companionship do not find the path to Hopkins’ religious ruminations; they announce their own existence, although very subtly, upon the individual levels of Hopkins’ poetic yearnings.
