Miscellaneous Studies is a collection of essays and articles written by Walter Horatio Pater, an English essayist, literary and art critic, and writer. The book includes a variety of topics, ranging from literary criticism to art history and philosophy. Some of the essays explore the works of prominent writers and artists such as Shakespeare, Botticelli, and Michelangelo, while others delve into broader cultural and societal issues of the time. Pater's writing is known for its elegant and poetic style, as well as its emphasis on the aesthetic experience and the importance of beauty in life. Overall, Miscellaneous Studies offers a fascinating insight into the mind of one of the most important cultural critics of the Victorian era.Hence the splendour, the space, the novelty, of the great French cathedrals in the first Pointed style, monuments for the most part of the artistic genius of laymen, significant pre-eminently of that Queen of Gothic churches at Amiens. In most cases those early Pointed churches are entangled, here or there, by the constructions of the old round-arched style, the heavy, Norman or other, Romanesque chapel or aisle, side by side, though in strong contrast with, the soaring new Gothic of nave or transept. But of that older [111] manner of the round arch, the plein-cintre, Amiens has nowhere, or almost nowhere, a trace.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
