THIS book is concerned with Ruskin’s teaching in the departments ofReligion and Economics only, including his social reforms andeducational schemes. It leaves out all his work on Art and in NaturalHistory and Mineralogy. His thoughts on Beauty in Landscape are treatedonly so far as that Beauty is damaged by Industrialism or by War. Norhas any attempt been made to produce an analysis of his literary styleor styles. The long extracts which the plan of the book requires,however, afford sufficient examples of his artistry in words.
My aim is to give a critical estimate in a reverent spirit of Ruskin’steaching in these two departments, and to apply it to the needs of ourown time.
The development of Ruskin’s religious faith{6} and its final outcome havenot, I believe, been fully worked out before, and the reconciliationwhich I have attempted in the region of Economics is long overdue. Theseparts of the book have been delivered as lectures in past years underthe Manchester and Liverpool University Extension Committees, at SummerSchools, and elsewhere.
I am indebted to Ruskin’s literary executors for permission to quotefreely from his works.
