Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Imaginary Portrait This "early first chapter of an unwritten story of modern English life," as Mr. Arthur Symons calls it, although undoubtedly based upon some of the actualities of Walter Pater´s childhood, must not be taken as a piece of absolute biography. Indeed, Mr. Edmund Gosse is already on record that "It would be an error to trace in the imaginary portrait, called The Child in the House, a definite picture of the early surroundings of Walter Pater. The existence at Enfield is hardly touched upon there, with the sole exception of the ´cry on the stair,´ announcing the death of Florian Deleal´s father; this, it appears, is a reminiscence of the decease, not of his father, but of his grandmother, which was so announced to the household at Enfield.
