'For as I look deeper into the mirror, I find myself a more curious
person than I had thought.' John Ruskin (1819-1900) was a towering
figure of the nineteenth century: an art critic who spoke up for J.
M. W. Turner and for the art of the Italian Middle Ages; a social
critic whose aspiration for, and disappointment in, the future of
Great Britain was expressed in some of the most vibrant prose in
the language. Ruskin's incomplete autobiography was written between
periods of serious mental illness at the end of his career, and is
an eloquent analysis of the guiding powers of his life, both public
and private. An elegy for lost places and people, Praeterita
recounts Ruskin's intense childhood, his time as an undergraduate
at Oxford, and, most of all, his journeys across France, the Alps,
and northern Italy. Attentive to the human or divine meaning of
everything around him, Praeterita is an astonishing account of
revelation. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's
Classics has made available the widest range of literature from
around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's
commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a
wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions
by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text,
up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.
