Love in the Time of the Antonine Plague: Pater's Decadent Pisa.
- Authors
Whiteley, Giles
- Abstract
A literary criticism of the book "Marius the Epicurean" by Walter Pater delves into the author's creative treatment of the city of Pisa, focusing on its significance in the narrative, the historical context, and the thematic exploration of decadence and queer desire. Topics include Pater's imaginative reconstruction of Pisa's ancient and Roman-era history, the integration of cosmopolitan influences in the novel, and the symbolic role of the city in portraying themes of sexual awakening.
