In 1911, the New York Times alerted its readers to the forthcoming
'authoritative' biography of Ruskin with the words 'out of a life's
devotion to Ruskin and the Herculean task of editing the definitive
Ruskin, Mr E. T. Cook is to give us a definitive Ruskin biography
also. It will have the authority of a brilliant Oxford scholar,
combined with the charm and lightness of a style which makes Mr
Cook one of the first of English journalists'. Cook had been given
complete access to Ruskin's diaries, notebooks and letters by his
literary executors, and Ruskin's family and friends co-operated
fully with him. His depth of knowledge of, and sympathy for, his
subject make Cook's biography a vital tool for anyone wishing to
understand Ruskin's extraordinary achievements in so many fields.
Volume 1 covers the period to 1860, the year in which the final
volume of Modern Painters was published.
