The Darkening Glass: A Portrait of Ruskin's Genius
The Darkening Glass A Portrait of Ruskin's Genius Author:John D. Rosenberg From preface: " This book is about Ruskin's mind, its wayward genius, its sickness, its essential sanity. Because Ruskin was the most personal of writers, the book is also about his life, but only in so far as it shaped -- or warped -- what he wrote. Like his life, his works are a compound of chaos and order, blindness and perception; t... more »he contours of his thought were at all points contiguous with the perplexities and epiphanies of his daily experience. These are the works which most richly display the temper of Ruskin's mind; they record the dominant epochs of his intellectual life and form the major divisions of this study."« less
