Opis

John Ruskin (1819-1900) was the most important critic of the last century and one of the period's greatest writers of English prose. He exercised an enormous influence not only on the theory but also on the practice of the arts, and by his powerful advocacy of Turner, the Pre-Raphaelites and the Gothic style decisively affected the course of British art and architecture. He was an exceedingly prolific writer, and the standard edition of his works runs to 38 volumes - a daunting prospect to the scholar and general reader alike.
