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, and it quickly became a classic. Long out of print, this important anthology is now available with a new foreword and an expanded and updated bibliography that takes into account recent directions in Ruskin scholarship.
