Moreover, Pater was the subject of a cruel satire in W. H. Mallock's ''The New Republic'' which was published in ''Belgravia'' in 1876-7 and in book form in 1877. He appeared there as 'Mr. Rose'—an effete, impotent, sensualist with a perchant for erotic literature and beautiful young men.
Mallock's book appeared during the competition for the Oxford Professorship of Poetry and played a role in convincing Pater to remove himself from consideration. A few months later Pater published what may have been a subtle riposte: "A Study of

: The Spiritual Form of Fire and Dew." His keen logic and gift for acute exposition and criticism were displayed in later years both in fiction and in controversial works.

In ''Is Life Worth Living''? (1879) and the satirical novel '' The New Paul and Virginia'' (1878) he attacked positivist theories and defended the Roman Catholic Church; one of his uncles,

The Civic Federation of New York, an influential body which aims, in various ways, at harmonising apparently divergent industrial interests in America, having decided on supplementing its other activities by a campaign of political and economic education, invited me, at the beginning of the year 1907, to initiate a scientific discussion of socialism in a series of lectures or speeches, to be delivered under the auspices of certain of the great Universities in the United States. This invitation I accepted, but, the project being a new one, some difficulty arose as to the manner in which it might best be carried out – whether the speeches or lectures should in each case be new, dealing with some fresh aspect of the subject, or whether they should be arranged in a single series to be repeated without substantial alteration in each of the cities visited by me. The latter plan was ultimately adopted, as tending to render the discussion of the subject more generally comprehensible to each local audience. A series of five lectures, substantially the same, was accordingly delivered by me in New York, Cambridge, Chicago, Philadelphia, and Baltimore.
Among his anti-socialist works should be classed his novel, ''The Old Order Changes'' (1886). His other novels are ''A Romance of the Nineteenth Century'' (1881), ''A Human Document'' (1892), ''The Heart of Life'' (1895), ''Tristram Lacy'' (1899), ''The Veil of the Temple'' (1904), and ''An Immortal Soul'' (1908).

's ''The Conservative Mind'':
Mallock is remembered chiefly for one book, ''The New Republic,'' and that his first, composed while he still was at Oxford – "the most brilliant novel ever written by an undergraduate," says Professor Tillotson, justly. ... But other books of Mallock's are worth looking into still—his theological and philosophical studies, his didactic novels, his zealous volumes of political expostulation and social statistics, even his books of verse. "He had astonishing acuteness, great argumentative power, wide and accurate knowledge, excellent style," Saintsbury says of Mallock. "He might have seemed—he did seem, I believe, to some—to have in him the making of an Aristophanes or a Swift of not so much lessened degree... And yet after the chiefly scandalous success of ''The New Republic'' he never 'came off.' To attribute this to the principles he advocated is to nail on those who dislike those principles their own favourite gibe of 'the stupid party.'" ... In the past two or three years, interest in Mallock has revived somewhat, probably stimulated by that conservative revival for which Mallock hoped, and the lines of which he predicted. ''Is Life Worth Living?'', ''Social Equality,'' and ''The Limits of Pure Democracy'', together with Mallock's charming autobiography, are especially deserving of attention from anyone interested in the conservative mind. Mallock died in 1923, half forgotten even then; but he has had no equal among English conservative thinkers since. He spent his life in a struggle against moral and political radicalism: for bulk and thoroughness, quite aside from Mallock's gifts of wit and style, his work is unexcelled among the body of conservative writings in any country. ...
