Synopsis

John Ruskin's astonishing originality and power of thought in social philosophy, art, aesthetics, economics and education make him one of the most influential figures of the 19th century. Ruskin (1819-1900) was perhaps the most influential art critic ever to have lived, and was himself a very fine painter. Interest in Ruskin has grown worldwide, and the Ruskin Foundation has decided to address the need for a general introduction to his life and thought. Published by Pallas Athene in collaboration with the Foundation, The Worlds of John Ruskin is written by a distinguished Ruskinian, the author, broadcaster, film-maker and critic Kevin Jackson. It is richly illustrated with Ruskin's own paintings and photographs, images of his own life and of the Victorian world that he was part of and that he transformed.
