This “tour de force of analysis” (Joel Agee) examines the life and work of the prolific, visionary writer, painter and critic. Kemp finds in Ruskin’s life — which spanned the same years as Queen Victoria’s and thus embodied the Victorian era itself — a faithful mirror of the history and psychological evolution of his age.
