The Renaissance is a strikingly original and influential collection of essays in which Walker Pater gave memorable expression to an aesthetic view of life. It has never before been published in a scholarly edition. Mr. Hill provides a full set of critical and explanatory notes on each of Pater's essays; headnotes outlining the story of its composition, publication, and reception; and an essay on the history of the book as a whole. Students of Pater and the Aesthetic Movement in England will find this new, annotated edition indispensable.
Pater's graceful essays discuss the achievements of Botticelli, Leonardo, Michelangelo, and other artists. It concludes with an uncompromising advocacy of hedonism, urging readers to experience life as fully as possible. His cry of art for art's sake became the manifesto of the Aesthetic Movement, and his assessments of Renaissance art have influenced generations
