Description

Walter Pater and the Language of Sculpture is the first monograph to examine Victorian critic Walter Pater's engagement with sculpture as both an art form and a conceptual framework for understanding language and aesthetics. This study integrates Pater's theories of visual perception with his ideas about writing and linguistic expression, revealing how his artistic vision extends beyond traditional sculpture criticism to encompass broader philosophical questions about form, relief, and hybrid artistic modes. The book traces Pater's influential metaphor of the writer as sculptor-a craftsman carving meaning through language-whilst exploring the pervasive concept of rilievo (relief) throughout his work. Authored by scholar Lene Ostermark-Johansen and published by Routledge as part of the British Art: Global Contexts series, this volume offers essential reading for art historians, literary scholars, and anyone interested in nineteenth-century aesthetics and the intersections between visual and textual creativity.
