In the absence of any official biography of Walter Pater, it has been necessary to collect information as to the events of his life from his relatives and friends. My thanks are due, in the first place, to Miss Pater and Miss Clara Pater, his sisters, who have given me the most kind and courteous assistance throughout; to Dr. Shadwell, Provost of Oriel, Pater soldest friend and literary executor, of whose sympathy and interest it is impossible to speak too gratefully; to Dr. Bussell, Vice-P rincipal of Brasenose, who has communicated to me many important particulars; to Mr. Herbert Warren, President of Magdalene; to Dr. Daniel, Provost of Worcester, and Mrs. Daniel; to Mr. Basil Champneys; to Mr. Humphry Ward, formerly Fellow of Brasenose; to Mr. Douglas A inslie; to Miss Paget (V ernon Lee), and others who have put their recollections at my disposal; to Mr. Edmund Gosse, who has permitted me to use his published materials; to Mr. Howard Sturgis and Mr. C. Fairfax Murray for careful criticism ;to Miss Beatrice Layman, who has given me invaluable help in verification and correction.

When I read the book, the biography famous. And is this, then, (said I) what the author calls a mans life? And so will someone when I am dead and gone write my life? (A sif any man really knew aught of my life; Why, even I myself, I often think, know little or nothing of my real life; Only a few hints a few diffused, faint clues and indirections I seek for my own use to trace out here.) Whitman.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a study of Walter Pater, an English essayist, critic and writer of the late Victorian era.
