Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of John Ruskin To explain my venturing upon the subject at all, I may perhaps be allowed to state that I became his pupil in 1872 (having seen him earlier), and continued to be in some relation to him - as visitor, resident assistant, or near neighbour - until his death. After his death the biographical part of my book was enlarged at the expense of the description of his writings and in revising once more I have thrown out much relating to his works, chiefly because they are now accessible as they were not formerly.

By this we mean that the Russian campaign, by extirpating a large part of the soldierly manhood of France, and giving the necessary breathing-space to the many enemies of Napoleon, thereby dooming him, with one nation at his back, to fight a world, while Wellington, with a world at his back, fought one nation, the Russian campaign may be held as the remote cause of the Belgian victory.

Download or read book John Ruskin written by Marshall Mather and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-08 with total page 222 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from John Ruskin: His Life and Teaching This book is neither a criticism nor a defence, but a brief exposition of the teachings of John Ruskin. The greater portion of it constituted a series of Lectures prepared for several of the Literary and Debating Societies in Manchester, and the arrangement is, in the main, that adopted in the Lectures. They were especially addressed to those who were seeking information about John Ruskin and his teachings, and this accounts for their elementary character. There is also a predilection about them which some may blame; the only reason I assign for this, is, that for ten years, the writings of John Ruskin have been to me a source of unspeakable delight, the secret of not a little of my endeavour, and the chief suggestive element of much of my thinking. Most men recognise a Master or, at least, are indebted to some one teacher more than to all others and there is, no doubt, a danger on their part of overestimating, or exclusively estimating such Master. To those who purpose a study of Ruskin's works, and would use this book as their guide, the following information as to further reference may be of service: Facts concerning the Life of John Ruskin: see "Fors Clavigera."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Work of John Ruskin, Vol. 1 of 2 When it was proposed to me to write such an account, I believed that previous study would make the task an easy one. I had the privilege of long acquaintance with Mr. Ruskin, and the advantage of having worked under him, in differ ent capacities, at different times, during some twenty years, on most of the subjects which have occupied his attention since his call to Oxford. I had already collected material enough for a volume, in order to write a biographical outline published in 1889 under the editorship of Mr. John Waugh, of Bradford. I was compiling from Mr. Ruskin's works an attempt at a review of his art-philosophy, and retracing with care, in the manuscript poems and other remains of his youth, the history he has indicated, from his own point of view, in Praeterita.

This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 464 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Religion of Ruskin, the Life and Works of John Ruskin: A Biographical and Anthological Study The method adopted in the following selections is to give the name and number of the volume at the head of the chapter, letting the Author's own paragraph number stand at the beginning of each quotation, and giving the further references at the end. Thus on page 105 of this volume will be found paragraphs on Sensual ity Fatal to Beauty in Art. The numbers 21 and 24 are those Of Ruskin's own paragraphing and this, with Pt. III, Sec. 1, Ch. 14, puts the reader in possession of the full reference, viz.: Modern Painters, Vol. II, Part III, Section 1, Chap ter 14, Paragraphs 21, 24. In some instances, where the quotations are continuous, the references to the chapters, etc., are only given at the end of several, but the numbers of the paragraphs are always given. This is especially notable of Vol. IV, Modern Painters. In still other instances no reference is needed other than the number of the paragraph of the work from which it is taken. It must be understood that the topical headlines are our own and not Ruskin's. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2018-10-21 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Introduction to the Writings of John Ruskin Tms selection from Ruskin' s writings is intended primarily for the use of students: students whether in the school, the college, or the great University of the World. There are many volumes of passages from Ruskin chosen for their beauty, or for their bearing on some special theme: it is believed that no collection has existed which aimed to present a suggestive summary of all the varying phases of his work, and to initiate the serious student into the most valuable portions of his thought. Yet there is perhaps no author more helpful, not only for the intrinsic beauty and value of his writ ings, but for his vital relation to the most interesting parts of the life of the century. And, if the function of the middleman is ever legitimate in literature, it is surely legitimate in the case of a writer like Ruskin; for the very voluminousness of his works stands be tween him and popular knowledge.
