The influence of John Ruskin (1819-1900), both on his own time and
on artistic and social developments in the twentieth century,
cannot be over-stated. He changed Victorian perceptions of art, and
was the main influence behind 'Gothic revival' architecture. As a
social critic, he argued for the improvement of the condition of
the poor, and against the increasing mechanisation of work in
factories, which he believed was dull and soul-destroying. The
thirty-nine volumes of the Library Edition of his works, published
between 1903 and 1912, are themselves a remarkable achievement, in
which his books and essays - almost all highly illustrated - are
given a biographical and critical context in extended introductory
essays and in the 'Minor Ruskiniana' - extracts from letters,
articles and reminiscences both by and about Ruskin. This
fourteenth volume contains Ruskin's 'Academy Notes' and other
writings on painting and painters.
