This review is from: Marius the Epicurean and Other Short Works (Paperback)
Pater is a writer of the late 19th century England whose works deserve to be read widely. Twenty years ago I read all his writings and I found I wanted to read them again. Pater in this novel of ancient Rome has a great story to tell, an historical novel which makes lively reading and gets the reader to think a bit about philosophy and the early Christian religion.
The other writings here are shorter fiction, highly imaginative and make terrific reading. Anyone interested in good literary criticism ought to familiarize himself or herself with Pater's critical essays in another volume. Pater has had a strong influence on later writers and critics. |
