Description for Ruskin and Modernism
Paperback. Num Pages: 236 pages, biography. BIC Classification: DSA; DSBF; JFC. Category: (G) General (US: Trade). Dimension: 203 x 127. .
The extent of John Ruskin's influence has long been acknowledged, though his impact on the development of Anglo-American modernism has received little systematic attention. In this volume, published to mark the centenary of Ruskin's death, a group of international scholars consider what is often an awkward and conflicted relation. Ruskin's voluminous writings are seen to shelter an incipient modernism whose antipathy to a degraded modernity, powerfully predicts a major current within the work of the new century.
