Life and Teaching of John Ruskin is a book written by J. Marshall Mather in 1883 that chronicles the life and teachings of the famous Victorian-era author and art critic, John Ruskin. The book provides a comprehensive overview of Ruskin's life, from his childhood in London to his influential career as a writer, social critic, and art historian.Mather delves into Ruskin's early education and his passionate interest in art and architecture, which led him to publish his first book, Modern Painters, in 1843. The book explores Ruskin's views on the importance of art in society, his criticism of the industrialization of England, and his advocacy for social reform.The biography also covers Ruskin's personal life, including his marriage to Effie Gray and their subsequent annulment, as well as his later years and declining health. Mather draws on a variety of primary sources, including Ruskin's own writings and letters, to provide a detailed and nuanced portrait of this complex and influential figure.Overall, Life and Teaching of John Ruskin is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the life and work of one of the most important cultural critics of the Victorian era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
