Ruskin and twenty-first century,
By Richard D. Smith (Walnut Creek, Ca USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ruskin (Sutton Pocket Biographies) (Paperback)
Dr. O'Gorman, a well-known Ruskin scholar, has provided us with an outstanding introduction to one of the nineteenth century's most outstanding writers, critics, artist and creative mind. The wide ranging interests and extraordinary accomplishments of Ruskin are treated to an elegant, intelligent, and highly readable treatice. Ruskin will no doubt grow in importance in the decades to come. This book is the perfect place to start on an exciting intellectual journey discovering John Ruskin.

Interesting introduction to Ruskin and his work,
This review is from: Ruskin (Sutton Pocket Biographies) (Paperback)
This is an ideal introduction to the life and work of John Ruskin. It's clear and readable but has lots of facts. My only criticism is that it doesn't give as much of a psychological insight into Ruskin as I would have liked. I was left wondering what kind of person Ruskin really was. Still, I do recommend it - and it is reasonably priced too.
