ジョン・キーツの「エンディミオン」(1818年)は、パーンに捧げられた祭りで、パーンを讃える賛美歌が連呼されるところから始まる。羊飼いの神であるヤギの神は、キリストから『普遍的自然』(サンディス)まで、さまざまなレベルで長く寓意化されてきたが、ここではロマンティックな想像力の象徴、超人的知識の象徴となった<ref>Barnard, John. ''John Keats : The Complete Poems'', p. 587, ISBN:978-0-14-042210-8</ref>。
19世紀後半になると、パーンは文学や芸術の世界でますますよく知られるようになった。パトリシア・メリヴェールは、1890年から1926年にかけて、「パーンというモチーフへの関心が驚くほど復活した。」と述べている<ref>Merivale, Patricia.

In the late 19th century Pan became an increasingly common figure in literature and art. Patricia Merivale states that between 1890 and 1926 there was an "astonishing resurgence of interest in the Pan motif". He appears in poetry, in novels and children's books, and is referenced in the name of the character [[Peter Pan]].<ref>{{cite book|author=Lurie, Alison|title=Afterword in ''Peter Pan''|publisher=[[Signet Books|Signet]]|date=2003|page=198|isbn=9780451520883|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6m9UTvQq7ZsC&pg=PA198}}</ref> In the [[Peter Pan]] stories, Peter represents a golden age of pre-civilisation in both the minds of very young children, before enculturation and education, and in the natural world outside the influence of humans. Peter Pan's character is both charming and selfish emphasizing our cultural confusion about whether human instincts are natural and good, or uncivilised and bad. [[J. M. Barrie]] describes Peter as ‘a betwixt and between’, part animal and part human, and uses this device to explore many issues of human and animal psychology within the Peter Pan stories.<ref>{{cite book|title=Peter Pan and the Mind of J M Barrie|last=Ridley|first=Rosalind|publisher=Cambridge Scholars Publishing|year=2016|isbn=978-1-4438-9107-3|location=UK}}</ref>
[[Arthur Machen]]'s 1894 novella ''[[The Great God Pan]]'' uses the god's name in a simile about the whole world being revealed as it really is: "seeing the Great God Pan". The novella is considered by many (including [[Stephen King]]) as being one of the greatest horror stories ever written.<ref>{{cite book |url=https://americanliterature.com/author/arthur-machen/novella/the-great-god-pan/summary |title=The Great God Pan by Arthur Machen |website=American Literature |access-date=May 18, 2021}}</ref>
