Shows the range and depth of Ruskin's work, and reveals the consistency of Ruskin's philosophy and his adamant belief that questions of economics, art and science could not be separated from questions of morality. This volume also shows that his work "Unto this Last" is also a closely argued assault on the science of political economy. Editor(s): Wilmer, Clive. Num Pages: 368 pages. BIC Classification: DNF. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 197 x 129 x 16. Weight in Grams: 270.
