So goes one of the best known of William James's obiter dicta. It is not so widely known that James wrote those words in reference to John Ruskin, provoked by the appearance in the July 1904 Atlantic Monthly of some letters that Ruskin had written to their mutual friend, Charles Eliot Norton. James was writing to Norton four years after Ruskin's death and 15 years after he slipped into silent insanity following a long period of mental unstability. Indeed, well before James penned his famous observation, Ruskin had receded into that limbo set aside for great authors the reasons for whose greatness no one can any longer quite explain, since almost everyone has stopped reading their books. Ruskin's status has not altered fundamentally since 1904. Everyone knows he is a Revered Writer; but he is one who, unlike such very different contemporaries as Trollope and Dickens and George Eliot, is known to the general reader today by his halo alone rather than by his books. Students who take courses in English literature still meet snippets of his prose in anthologies; and scholars of Victorian literature and culture of course read him more extensively, but as a rule still spottily (his output was vast). They are well rewarded for their effort—though also often puzzled. Ruskin was a master of supple, inventive, coruscating, heart-rending, evocative, tender, volcanic prose, so highly original a writer that the reader caught up on the stream of his words is often dumped out at the end without knowing exactly where she has been.

A champion of Turner and an enemy of Whistler, he placed the study of art and architecture at the heart of a moral assault on Victorian life. In the stone work of a Gothic cathedral, Ruskin saw all that was right about medieval society and all that was wrong about his own capitalist age. But why was Ruskin so critical of his own time? What deep currents of thought infused his ideas? And how much does our thinking, about society, the environment, art and work owe to this unusual man?

SYM=GetSymbol('BIO'); my cart home authors books ... Image Information John Ruskin John Ruskin was born in London in 1819, of Scottish descent. His father was a succesful wine-merchant and art lover; his mother a strict Evangelical whose religious instruction affected him deeply. He entered Christ Church, Oxford, in 1836 and graduated in 1842. In 1843, the first of the five volumes of Modern Painters was published, a work written in defense of J.M.W. Turner. The other volumes survey the main traditions of European painting from Giotto to the nineteenth century. Ruskin was also passionately interested in Gothic architecture and published two books on the subject before the completion of Modern Painters: The Seven Lamps of Architecture (1849) and the three volumes of The Stones of Venice in 1851 and 1853. He married Effie Gray in 1848, but seven years later the marriage was annulled on grounds of non-consummation. In 1858 he met Rose la Toche, a girl of nine, with whom he fell in love and became increasingly obsessed, and in that year he finally lost his Evangelical faith. In 1860, disillusioned with a society in which poverty was rampant and the poor exploited, he began the first of four essays attacking the science of Political Economy. They were published in book form in 1862, uner the title, Unto this Last . This was followed in 1863 by Munera Pulveris , which puts forward some positive proposals for economic change and reform. In 1869 he became the first Slade Professor of Fine Art at Oxford and in 1871 began writing

46. John Ruskin (1819-1900) Note on the life of the great Victorian thinker john ruskin, with particular emphasis on his influence on the PreRaphaelite painters. http://myweb.tiscali.co.uk/speel/otherart/ruskin.htm

John Ruskin (1819-1900) John Ruskin John Ruskin, the greatest Victorian bar Victoria, was an artist, scientist, poet, environmentalist, philosopher, and, importantly here, the pre-eminent art critic of his time. He provided the impetus that gained respectability for the Pre-Raphaelites . Ruskin's letter to The Times in 1851, supporting the much-derided Pre-Raphaelites for their naturalism and truth to nature, marked a turning point in their perception by the public. In a second letter, he wrote that the Pre-Raphaelites might "lay the foundation of a school of art nobler than the world has seen for 300 years." When, after this, Ruskin met the Pre-Raphaelites, he encouraged them in their ideals, acting as tutor, mentor, and generous supporter to Rossetti Millais and Holman Hunt , as well as later artists in a similar spirit such as John Brett and John William Inchbold . He was a long-time friend of the children's illustrator Kate Greenaway , and also of the bird-painter H. S. Marks Ruskin taught Pre-Raphaelite style drawing at the Working Men's College in London for some years, enlisting Rossetti to teach figure and watercolour painting, and afterwards Ford Madox Brown to fill the same position. Afterwards, he left London, becoming Slade Professor of Art at Oxford (where there is an art college named after him) and then removing to the Lake District where he helped to start the Environmental Movement.

47. John Ruskin A brief biography, from Spartacus Educational, of the life and work of john ruskin, the leading writer, and second only to Turner as a watercolour painter, http://www.spartacus.schoolnet.co.uk/Jruskin.htm

Home Email Search Author ... Index Page John Ruskin , the son of a prosperous wine merchant, was born in London in 1819. After being educated at home he studied at Oxford University where he won the Newdigate prize for poetry. Soon after graduating Ruskin met J. M. W. Turner and decided that he would rescue this great painter from obscurity. This campaign included Ruskin's book Modern Painters I (1843) where he highly praised Turner's work. Ruskin also wrote Modern Painters II (1846) where he championed the pre-Raphaelites. Ruskin was now considered to be Britain's leading writer on culture and other important books written during this period included The Seven Lamps of Architecture Pre-Raphaelitism The Stones of Venice Architecture and Painting ... Political Economy of Art (1857) and Modern Painters IV In the 1850s Ruskin became interested in politics and became a supporter of socialism. Between 1854 and 1858 he taught at the Working Men's College that had been founded by Frederick Denison Maurice Charles Kingsley and Thomas Hughes in London . In his lectures Ruskin denounced greed as the main principle guiding English life. In books such as Unto the Last Essays on Political Economy (1862) and Time and Tide (1867), Ruskin argued against competition and self-interest and advocated a form of

His first visit to Coniston was when he was 5 years old- a visit he never forgot! His father was a wine merchant and was in partnership with Domecq, the sherry people and in the early days of his business he would take his wife and family on his tours. In 1830 when Ruskin was 11 years old, they had 3 weeks in the Lake District and during that time he wrote this poem: When Dinner was over, as still it did rain We thought that we scarcely need longer remain: So, ordered the carriage, and with no good will, We ordered the pest of all travels-the bill. His Father was a great lover of the arts and countryside and therefore encouraged his son to paint and to write poems about his travels. Some of these travels have taken him around Europe. When he was 17, he fell in love with Adele Domecq, the daughter of his father's partner.When this relationship failed it had a big effect on his future love life. In 1836 he went to Oxford with his mother. They stayed in lodgings close by, but with his mother watching over him, his social life was rather constrained. His father gave him a generous allowance and in 1869 Ruskin was appointed Slade Professor of Fine Art at Oxford University.

Cheaper imported copper brought about the decline of the industry in the late 19th century. Until 1882 it had been operated by the prestigious Company of Mines Royal, but these could not compete with the huge foreign Rio Tinto mines which sounded its death knell. Here and along the banks of Red Dell Beck lie some of Cumbria's earliest mine workings, dating from Tudor times. Indelibly linked with the village of Coniston is the name of John Ruskin, who lived at Brantwood across Coniston Water, and who is buried in Coniston Parish churchyard. Ruskin was one of the foremost thinkers and writers of Victorian times, a Professor of Art at Oxford University, and noted art critic. He retired to Brantwood in Coniston in 1872, and lived there for the next 27 years.

A spate of centenary exhibitions demonstrates the enduring authority of that eminent Victorian's achievements. During the spiritualism craze that swept Victorian London in the 1860s, John Ruskin would occasionally allow himself to be brought along by fashionable ladies to complete the circle at seances. On one such evening, Ruskin and a group of earnest seekers had seated themselves around an elegant table in a darkened Mayfair drawing room. They were trying to access "the other side" when the medium in charge suddenly announced in a quavering voice: "John Ruskin! John Ruskin! Do you wish to speak to your grandmother!?"

They were Scots, first cousins, the grandchildren of a certain John Ruskin of Edinburgh (1732-1780). In Praeterita the author professes small knowledge of his ancestry. But the memoirs published on the authority of the family trace their descent to the Adairs and Agnews of Galloway. In this family tree are men famous in arms and in the public service: Sir Andrew Agnew of Lochnaw, Admiral Sir John Ross, Field-Marshal Sir Hew Dalrymple Ross, Dr. John Adair, in whose arms James Wolfe died at Quebec, and the Rev. W. Tweddale of Glenluce, to whom the original Covenant, now in the Glasgow Museum, had been confided. The name Ruskin is said to be a variant of Erskine, or Roskeen, or Rogerkin, and even Roughskin. It is more probably Rusking, an Anglian family, which passed northwards and became Ruskyn, Rusken and Ruskin.
