Description
An electronic edition of a text originally created for print offers new possibilities for study, but differs significantly enough from print to require critical assessment. Walter Pater's sketch "The Child in the House," a retrospective examination of the growth of sensibility and the place of aesthetic experience within that growth, explores a relation between aesthetic experience and an ethic of "habitation" that applies to reading as it does to life. By intimating a stance towards the modern world in an idealism that expresses an acute aesthetic sensibility founded in a capacity for imaginative sympathy, "The Child in the House" suggests that as in print media, the design and application of electronic text media need to be considered within broader questions about the nature and purposes of reading. **********
