An unblemished first Printing of the First Edition housed in a dust-jacket that has some scuffing to the rear, else also Fine; This book tells the story of the great English critic and philosopher, Walter Pater (1839-1894), and his relationship with the House of Macmillan, publishers of his most influential works. Pater was a brilliant and influential thinker, but he was also a highly self-critical individual. He found it difficult to gain recognition for his work, and he was often frustrated by the limitations of his own intellect. He was, however, enormously impressed by the Macmillan family, which he considered to be among the most distinguished in British society. He became close friends with the publisher John Macmillan and his wife, Flora, and he collaborated closely with them on a number of projects. The Macmillans were also generous friends to Pater, providing him with a living and supporting him financially throughout his life. The House of Macmillan is now known as Macmillan Publishers.; 8vo; 206 pages. N° de réf. du vendeur 58083
