Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Ruskin had a life and career that made the romantic visionary singly the most important cultural figure of his day. His canon attests to the intelligence that championed natural beauty, reveled in art, and erred only on the side of humanity. This is the classic biography by Sir Edward Tyas Cook (1857-1919) of the 19th century author and philosopher, cited and recommended by the Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature. The principal material on which this biography is founded consists of Ruskin's diaries, notebooks, and letters. They are supplemented by a large collection of letters to his parents. During Ruskin's absences from home, he wrote almost daily, and sometimes more than once a day, to his father, or to his mother, or to both.

Book Synopsis Building Ruskin's Italy by : Stephen Kite
Download or read book Building Ruskin's Italy written by Stephen Kite and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-07-05 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Based on extensive fieldwork, and research into John Ruskin's still little-interpreted archival material, notebooks and drawings (in the Ruskin Library, Lancaster University, UK and elsewhere), Stephen Kite offers an unprecedented account of the evolution of Ruskin's architectural thinking and observation in the context of Italy where his watching of building achieved its greatest intensity. Venice naturally figures large in a work that also examines other key sites including Verona, Lucca, Pisa, Florence, Milan and Monza; here, the fabrics are vividly read in their contexts against the rich evidence of Ruskin's diaries, his pocket-book sketches, architectural worksheets, drawings, and daguerrotypes (the early form of photography), and the drafts and published editions of the texts. Kite presents the complex story of Ruskin's visual thinking in architecture as a narrative of deepening interpretation and representation, focusing on the humbler monuments of Italy. He shows how Ruskin's early picturesque naturalism was transformed by the realisation that to understand the built realities confronting him in Italy demanded a closer engagement with the substance of the stones themselves; reflecting Ruskin's sense of his task as a near-archaeological gleaning and gathering of remains 'hidden in many a grass grown court, and silent pathway, and lightless canal'.

Excerpt from book: Folume K (1819-1860) CHAPTER I CHILDHOOD (1819-1832) So stubborn and chemically inalterable the laws of the prescription were, that now, looking back from 1886 to that brook shore of 1837, whence I could see the whole of my youth, I find myself in nothing whatsoever changed. Some of me is dead, more of me stronger. I have learned a few things, forgotten many; in the total of me, I am but the same youth, disappointed and rheumatic.?Prceterita. The first forty years of Ruskin's life, which are the subject of the present volume, have the interest of unity of purpose, showing the approval and the accomplishment in middle age of what youth had planned. His methods and opinions did indeed alter, as any wise man's must, with altering conditions, with enlarged experience, with acquired knowledge. A great man of action was once rallied by a friend for changing his views so hurriedly. Yes, he replied, as hurriedly as I could, for I found I was wrong. The man of letters who is the subject of this biography was often taunted for the different views which he put forward at different times upon the same questions. The problems of life, of ethics, of criticism are mostly polygonal, he replied, and for myself, I am never satisfied that I have handled a subject properly till I have contradicted myself at least three times.1 To be truly alive, a man must be capable, he said elsewhere, of nourishment and therefore of change; but in the case of a consistent life and a strong character, the change is that of a tree, not of a cloud.2 1 Cambridge Inaugural Address, 13. 2 Preface to Modern Painters, vol. v.

Book excerpt: John Ruskin, one of the most prolific of nineteenth-century authors, first made a name as a writer on art with Modern Painters. His study of art and architecture in Britain and Europe led him to a consideration of the conditions of the people who lived in the same world as his art. His interests broadened to embrace social and political economy, and ideas which he propounded in such books as Unto This Last have had a profound effect on life today. William Morris, Bernard Shaw and many othe rearly socialists practised what Ruskin had preached. His Utopian Guild of St. George sought to establish a community where life was fair and the Companions found happiness and satisfaction through the work of their hands. Meanwhile in art he championed J.M.W. Turner, introduced the English to Tintoretto and other early Italian artists and helped the Pre-Raphaelites on their way. The effects of his teaching can be see today in green belts, town planning, smokeless zones, the Rent Restrictions Act and the National Trust. Ruskin was truly one of the prophets on the nineteeth century.

Book Synopsis The Butcher, The Tailor, The Picture-Frame Maker... by : Gareth Winrow
Download or read book The Butcher, The Tailor, The Picture-Frame Maker... written by Gareth Winrow and published by Book Guild Publishing. This book was released on 2023-02-28 with total page 198 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As she awaits her execution at Oxford Castle, a newly wed woman from a God-fearing family, convicted for murdering her housemaid, is pardoned at the last minute by King George II. A butcher suddenly disappears and changes his identity after the tragic death of his young wife. A picture-frame maker from humble origins becomes ‘the richest man in Oxford’ and is at ease socialising with the luminaries of the Victorian art world. And a lovestruck local member of parliament with a serious gambling addiction dies in suspicious circumstances. These are some of the stories of individuals connected with the land and property on Middle Way in Summertown, Oxford, where the author now lives. The book presents an alternative history of Oxford and explores how Summertown evolved from being primarily an artisans’ village to becoming a well-heeled suburb of Oxford. Extensively referenced and using archival sources and interviews, a voice is also given to the living relatives of people connected with the land and property on Middle Way.
Book Synopsis Towards Creative Imagination in Victorian Literature by : Aleksandra Piasecka
Download or read book Towards Creative Imagination in Victorian Literature written by Aleksandra Piasecka and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2014-06-19 with total page 230 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores the concept of the creative imagination in Mid- and Late Victorian England. In these times of transition, as the age of the Industrial Revolution was regarded, aesthetic considerations became involved in the broader debate on the shape of the modern world. Thus, the approach to the artistic imagination was closely connected with the shifting beliefs concerning the essence of beauty, and the role of religion, not to mention attitudes towards nature and society. These aspects defined the aims furthered by painters and poets alike and set the direction for their artistic endeavours. Five people have been chosen as representatives of their time in the discussion about artistic imagination: John Ruskin, William Morris, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, Walter Pater and Arthur Symons. Accordingly, the material analysed to recreate the Victorian understanding of the artistic faculties is of different kinds, and embraces not only critical essays (Ruskin, Pater, Symons), but also belles-lettres: short stories (Morris) and poems (Rossetti, Symons). In this manner, two positions complement each other: namely, the views of the theoreticians and those of practitioners. The former attempted to discern and extract the quintessence of the artistic powers on the basis of their observations and reflections, whereas the latter relied on their personal experiences in this respect.
