Synopsis:
No figure among the Victorians surpasses John Ruskin in magnitude of genius, modernity of message, or mastery of prose. Yet for the first half-century after his death in 1900, his genius lay largely undiscovered. First published in 1963, John D. Rosenberg's The Genius of John Ruskin aimed to make Ruskin's ideas and writings accessible to the modern reader, and it quickly became a classic. Long out of print, this important anthology is now available with a new foreword by Herbert F. Tucker and an expanded and updated bibliography by the author that takes into account recent Ruskin scholarship.
About the Author:
John D. Rosenberg is the William Peterfield Trent Professor of English at Columbia University and the author of the award-winning Ruskin biography The Darkening Glass, among other books. Herbert F. Tucker is Professor of English at the University of Virginia.
