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.

This book was released on 2017-10-12 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Letters of John Ruskin to Charles Eliot Norton, Vol. 1 of 2 The method to be adopted in editing these letters was not altogether easy to de termine. They might be strung together on a consecutive narrative of Ruskin's life; to this there was the objection that already two excellent biographies existed: one the long and authoritative Life by Mr. W. G. Col lingwood, the other the brief, sympathetic Memoir by Mr. Frederic Harrison. They might be largely illustrated by pas sages from his other writings bearing upon the topics touched upon, and by full accounts of matters merely referred to in them, but this would have been to insert a disproportionate amount of editorial matter.

In the foregoing list was not numbered by Ruskin as a volume in Bibliotheca Pastoram; it was too short for such. Vol. III. In the series was to have been a further selection from Sidney's Psalter. This, however, Ruskin did not publish. He had, however, prepared a portion of it for the press, and this additional matter, now for the first time printed, is here included in Rock Honeycomb. Finally, in an Appendix, given in this volume for a reason presently explained (pp. Xxxiv., is some matter which will throw a new light for most people on Ruskin's many-sided interests - namely, examples of his setting of songs to music.

This book was released on 2018-10-21 with total page 272 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.

Not his own language, for he has to look in his dictionary, by his own confession, for a word occurring in one of the most important chapters of his Bible; not the commonest traditions of the schools, for he does not know why Poussin was called learned not the most simple canons of art, for he prefers Lee to Gainsborough; not the most ordinary facts of nature, for we find him puzzled by the epithet silver, as applied to the orange-blossom, evidently never having seen anything silvery about an orange in his life, except a spoon.
