  First published in 1893, this fascinating collection of writings reveal Whistler's thoughts on the late 19th-century Aesthetic movement, of which he was the presiding genius. It includes both his own pieces on critical theory and the responses of others, such as Oscar Wilde and Swinburne, to them, in a sophisticated game of literary one-upmanship.
