The theme and scope of the Chronology focus on the life (in bare
outline) and publications (in temporal order) of John Ruskin
(1819-1900). As art-critic, social commentator, architectural
scholar, geologist, botanist, water-colourist, lecturer,
letter-writer and prose stylist, Ruskin stands forth as perhaps the
pre-eminent Victorian polymath. His advocacy of art and artists,
his courage in the face of hostile, uninformed criticism and his
enlightened compassionate views of the human condition reveal
Ruskin as 'not of an age but for all time'. These attributes the
Chronology endeavours to suggest.
