Algernon Swinburne and Walter Pater

About The Book

This book argues that Walter Pater and Algernon Swinburne draw upon the legacy of Romantic Hellenism in order to explore the possibilities of a secular model of enchantment and to complicate the common Victorian assumption that secularisation was a story about rationality, disillusionment, and loss. 1. Parleying with Robert Browning and Matthew Arnold: Swinburne and the Drama of Blasphemy 2. Though Hearts Reach Back and Memories Ache': Melancholy, Religious Doubt, and Swinburne's Strenuous Joy 3. A Secular, a Rebellious Spirit Often Betrays Itself': Pater's Early Aestheticism 4. Inheriting Its Strange Web of Belief and Unbelief': George Eliot's Romola, Pater's Marius the Epicurean, and the Aura of Agnosticism 5. Conclusion
