Throughout his engaging discussion of Pater's highly 'personal' Platonism, Lee offers a 'new portrait of Pater' (p251), depicting the growth of a complex mind whose Platonic affinities shed new light on the 'curiosity and desire of beauty' (Pater, Renaissance, qtd on p. 41) which Aestheticism so strongly projected onto the Hellenic past. * Charlotte Ribeyrol, Sorbonne Université, Studies in Walter Pater and Aestheticism *
