edition. I have therefore placed an asterisk
immediately after each of Pater's footnotes and a + sign after my own
notes, and have listed each chapter's notes at that chapter's end.
Pagination and Paragraphing: To avoid an unwieldy electronic copy, I
have transferred original pagination to brackets. A bracketed numeral
such as [22] indicates that the material immediately following the
number marks the beginning of the relevant page. I have preserved
paragraph structure except for first-line indentation.
Hyphenation: I have not preserved original hyphenation since an e-text
does not require line-end or page-end hyphenation.
Greek typeface: For this full-text edition, I have transliterated Pater's
Greek quotations. If there is a need for the original Greek, it can be
viewed at my site, http://www.ajdrake.com/etexts, a Victorianist
archive that contains the complete works of Walter Pater and many

other nineteenth-century texts, mostly in first editions.

CHARLES L. SHADWELL'S PREFACE
[1] The volume of Greek Studies, issued early in the present year, dealt
with Mr. Pater's contributions to the study of Greek art, mythology, and
poetry. The present volume has no such unifying principle. Some of the
papers would naturally find their place alongside of those collected in
Imaginary Portraits, or in Appreciations, or in the Studies in the

Renaissance. And there is no doubt, in the case of several of them, that
Mr. Pater, if he had lived, would have subjected them to careful
revision before allowing them to reappear in a permanent form. The
task, which he left unexecuted, cannot now be taken up by any other
hand. But it is hoped that students of his writings will be glad to
possess, in a collected shape, what has hitherto only been accessible in
the scattered volumes of magazines. It is with some hesitation that the
paper on Diaphaneitè, the last in this volume, has been added, as the
only specimen known to [2] be preserved of those early essays of Mr.
Pater's, by which his literary gifts were first made known to the small
circle of his Oxford friends.
Subjoined is a brief chronological list of his published writings. It will
be observed how considerable a period, 1880 to 1885, was given up to
the composition of Marius the Epicurean, the most highly finished of
all his works, and the expression of his deepest thought.
