Among Victorian writers, Pater (1839-1894) challenged academic and religious orthodoxies, defended 'the love of art for its own sake', developed a new genre of prose fiction (the 'imaginary portrait'), set\u003cbr\u003enew standards for intermedial and cross-disciplinary criticism, and made 'style' the watchword for creativity and life. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEverywhere creating themes and resonances that span his narrative, the author's voice in \u003cem\u003eGaston de Latour\u003c\/em\u003e is intensely personal; and the reader's experience is intimate, almost invasive. Although unfinished and first posthumously published in 1896, the novel was hailed by Richard Le Gallienne 'as\u003cbr\u003esensitively beautiful as in his most perfect work, as rich in delicate colour and music, and as remarkable for exquisite detail.' This edition includes six additional suppressed chapters by Pater of varying degrees of completeness as a continuation of his interrupted originally-serialized text. This\u003cbr\u003erevised text (now a third longer than the posthumously published edition) appears here accompanied by a scholarly Introduction, Explanatory Annotation, and Apparatus Criticus. As it now stands, Pater's never-to-be-completed \u003cem\u003eGaston de Latour\u003c\/em\u003e seems very much to belong to artistic modernism, like a\u003cbr\u003e'conceptual' work of art-an idea not formally actualized but open to ranges of realization in the process of creation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gerald Monsman\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/03\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198816164\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGerald Monsman, \u003cem\u003eUniversity of Arizona\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eGerald Monsman is Professor and former Head of the English Department at the University of Arizona, where he specializes in nineteenth- and early twentieth-century British and Anglo-African literature.
