John Ruskin (1819 1900), the influential Victorian art critic and
social theorist, lived in the Lake District for nearly 30 years.
This biographical study, first published in 1901, focuses on the
significance of the region in Ruskin's life and art. It begins with
his first visit as a five-year-old, when he became ''a dedicated
spirit' to the beauty and the wonders of Nature', and ends with
accounts of his funeral and memorial at Coniston. It describes his
commitment to the local people and their traditional crafts, and
his relationship with the poet Wordsworth. The author, H. D.
Rawnsley (1851 1920), was a clergyman, conservationist and keen art
lover based in the Lake District who had been personally tutored by
Ruskin and who was one of the founders, in 1884, of the heritage
organisation that became the National Trust.
