Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life of John Ruskin This book in its first form was written nearly twenty years ago with the intention of contributing a volume to a series of University Extension Manuals. For that purpose it included a sketch of Ruskin´s "Work," with some attempt to describe the continuous development of his thought. It had the advantage - and the disadvantage - of being written under his eye; that is to say, he saw as much of it as his health allowed; and it received his general approval. To explain my venturing upon the subject at all, I may perhaps be allowed to state that I became his pupil in 1872 (having seen him earlier), and continued to be in some relation to him - as visitor, resident assistant, or near neighbour - until his death. After his death the biographical part of my book was enlarged at the expense of the description of his writings; and in revising once more I have thrown out much relating to his works, chiefly because they are now accessible as they were not formerly.
