Beschreibung:
This book is the first comprehensive study of the reception of classical Greece among English aesthetic writers of the nineteenth century. By exploring this history of reception, it aims to give readers a new and fuller understanding of literary aestheticism, its intellectual contexts, and its challenges to mainstream Victorian culture.
British Aestheticism and Ancient Greece explores the reception of ancient Greek culture in late-Victorian literature, focusing on Walter Pater, Vernon Lee, Michael Field and Oscar Wilde
