We are delighted to announce that the latest issue of Studies in Walter Pater and Aestheticism will soon be ready for circulation. Issue 10 (Winter 2026) contains a series of new essays including work on Pater’s engagement with the ideas of the seventeenth-century philosopher Spinoza by Giles Whiteley, on Pater and Jakob Burckhardt by Francesca Orestano, and on ‘The Queer Correspondence of Michael Field’ by Alex Murray. Theodore Leane also reports on last year’s Trans/Pater conference, held at Cornell University 5-7 September 2025, while Laurel Brake has contributed an ‘In Memoriam’ on the late, great Pater critic, Billie Inman (1929-2020).
Issue 10 includes a number of reviews of recent works on aestheticism and related subjects.
