Journal Article
Pater, Wilde, Douglas and the Impact of 'Greats'
2003
Overview
Shuter examines the literary works of Walter Pater, Oscar Wilde, and Alfred Douglas. In a sense, all three were Oxford men pursuing the same course of study, that remarkably ambitious school of Literae Humaniores or \"Greats\" designed not only to introduce young men to certain designated works of philosophy and history by the principal Greek and Roman authors but to train them to think critically about philosophic and ethical questions and to relate historically earlier to historically later stages of thought. As the instances of Pater, Wilde, and Douglas demonstrate, however, Shuter notes that some young men were more receptive and retentive than others of its mental impress.
