In the English-speaking world, this has involved recovery from the widespread neglect and indifference that attended his work in the first half of the twentieth century. In Europe, however, the story has been a different one. Enthusiastic disciples such as Hugo von Hofmannsthal in the German-speaking world, and Charles Du Bos in France, helped to fuel a growing awareness of his writings as central to the emergence of modernist literature. Translations of works like Imaginary Portraits, of which German, French and Italian versions already existed before the First World War, established his distinctive voice as an aesthetic critic. His novel Marius the Epicurean, acclaimed early by von Hofmannsthal, was enthusiastically received in Paris in the 1920s, and published in Turin, with an introduction by Mario Praz, on the eve of the Second World War. Besides tracing the fortunes of Pater's writings in these three major literatures, this collection looks at the surprising and fascinating record of their reception in Spain, Portugal, Poland, Hungary and the Czech Republic. Pater was a major Victorian critic of literature and the arts and a key figure in the aesthetics and decadence movements of the fin-de-si鋃le Covers the reception of Pater across the Continent, including eastern Europe Records Pater influence on theory, figures and movements in literature and the visual arts.
