Studies in the History of the RenaissanceThrough his highly idiosyncratic readings of some of the finest paintings, sculptures, and poems of the French and Italian Renaissance, Walter Pater in Studies in the History of the Renaissance redefined the practice of criticism as an impressionistic, almost erotic exploration of the critic's aesthetic responses.

Through his highly idiosyncratic readings of some of the finest paintings, sculptures, and poems of the French and Italian Renaissance, Walter Pater in Studies in the History of the Renaissance redefined the practice of criticism as an impressionistic, almost erotic exploration of the critic's aesthetic responses. Pater's infamous "Conclusion," which forever linked him with the decadent movement, scandalized many with its insistence on making pleasure the sole motive of life, even as it charmed fellow aesthetes such as Oscar Wilde. This edition of Studies reproduces the text of the first edition of 1873. Matthew Beaumont's Introduction describes the cultural context that gave rise to the book, the reasons for its notoriety, Pater's philosophical outlook, and the arguments in his book. It explores Pater's work as an attempt to preserve the unique aesthetic of a work of art in the face of encroaching mass culture. The book also includes the later chapter on Giorgione as an Appendix, comprehensive notes that identify the many literary and artistic references, and a useful glossary of names.

Amazing for dermatitis.
Please never stop making this soap. Not only is it so soothing but it cleansed and balances my PH all over! No irritation very effective. Clean ingredients. Usually, I have to choose between moisture and fully feeling clean. This does both! Lathers and moisturizes. Great size and amazing price. I’m so glad I stumbled upon it. I will be ordering more. I recommend it. Soothes, moisturizes, balances ur skins natural PH and CLEANSES! No fake fragrance, all natural. I strongly recommend

Smells wonderful
I purchased this for my granddaughter. She has eczema on her upper arms. It smells great and lathers up very quickly. It does moisturize the skin too. I will update once we see if it takes care of her eczema. Definitely would buy again.

Effective & Great Value!
I’m a connoisseur of soaps - liquid - solid - fragrant decadent soaps - not so fragrant soaps - but I was searching for a soap to soothe my hands from a lot of handwashing over the years & autoimmune issues.I chose this soap based on reviews & was not disappointed. It delivers what the description states.Calms down the itching & dryness. Effective Product This soap fits my criteria- a good sized bar - lathers softly- quite moisturizing- glides over my hands - smells so good - a little spicy smell - reasonably priced- also very good for my body - I ordered another bar for good measure!

Good and effective
While waiting for my appointment with the doctor, I decided to give it a try, and it helped me a lot in controlling a minor allergic reaction I had on my skin.
