Summary:

John Ruskin (1819-1900) is best known for his work as an art critic
and social critic, but is remembered as an author, poet and artist as
well. Ruskin's essays on art and architecture were extremely
influential in the Victorian and Edwardian eras. Ruskin's range was
vast. He wrote over 250 works which started from art history, but
expanded to cover topics ranging over science, geology, ornithology,
literary criticism, the environmental effects of pollution, and
mythology. In 1848, he married Effie Gray, for whom he wrote the
early fantasy novel The King of the Golden River. After his death
Ruskin's works were collected together in a massive "library
edition", completed in 1912 by his friends Edward Cook and Alexander
Wedderburn. Its index is famously elaborate, attempting to articulate
the complex interconnectedness of his thought. His other works
include: Giotto and his Works in Padua (1854), The Harbours of
England (1856), "A Joy for Ever" (1857), The Ethics of the Dust
(1866) and Hortus Inclusus.
