Description

Book Synopsis
Talking about the Victorian critic and public intellectual John Ruskin, this work recovers both Ruskin's critique of economic life and his public practice of moral imagination. It recasts interpretations of Ruskin's place in 19th-century literature and aesthetics, and challenges nostalgic diagnoses of the supposed historical loss of virtue ethics.

Trade Review
David Craig's great book on the perennial wisdom of John Ruskin reignites a much-needed dialogue between this sad genius and twenty-first-century cultural critics. This is a Ruskin for - and against - our time! - Cornel West, Princeton University
