Opis

'After Ruskin' is an exploration of intellectual influence, focusing on the pre-eminent Victorian art and social critic, John Ruskin (1819-1900). It explains how he inspired leading activists and thinkers to help reform Britain's social and political culture in the period between 1870 and 1920.

Recenzje

This is a likeable book that Ruskin experts as well as novices can profitably read ... What makes this book a worthy addition is the close attention it pays to the more intimate connection between Ruskin and smaller groups of ethical do-gooders in the next two generations whose local contributions to the British variety of progressivism usually get lost in the big picture.
