M.A., late Scholar of University College, Oxford, Author of the ‘Art
Teaching of John Ruskin,’ Editor of Mr. Ruskin’s Poems. _2 vols.
8vo. 32s. Second Edition._
This important work is written by Mr. Collingwood, who has been for
some years Mr. Ruskin’s private secretary, and who has had unique
advantages in obtaining materials for this book from Mr. Ruskin
himself and from his friends. It contains a large amount of new
matter, and of letters which have never been published, and is, in
fact, a full and authoritative biography of Mr. Ruskin. The book
contains numerous portraits of Mr. Ruskin, including a coloured one
from a water-colour portrait by himself, and also 13 sketches, never
before published, by Mr. Ruskin and Mr. Arthur Severn. A
bibliography is added.
‘No more magnificent volumes have been published for a long
time....’—_Times._
‘This most lovingly written and most profoundly interesting
book.’—_Daily News._
