Publisher's Synopsis
""Essays From The Guardian"" is a collection of literary essays written by Walter Horatio Pater, a prominent English essayist, critic, and writer. The book features a selection of Pater's essays that were originally published in The Guardian newspaper, covering a range of topics including literature, art, history, philosophy, and culture. The essays are characterized by Pater's unique writing style, which is marked by a poetic and philosophical approach to literary criticism. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in Victorian literature and culture, and offers a fascinating insight into the mind of one of the era's most influential literary figures.There is surely something of ""natural magic"" in that! The wilder capacity of the mountains is brought out especially in a weird story of a haunted girl, an episode well illustrating the writer's more imaginative psychological power; for, in spite of its quiet general tenour, the book has its adroitly managed elements of sensation---- witness the ghost, in which the average human susceptibility to supernatural terrors takes revenge on the sceptical Mr. Wendover, and the love-scene with Madame de Netteville, which, like those other exciting passages, really furthers the development of the proper ethical interests of the book.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
