About this copy
A treasury of passages from John Ruskin, the Victorian critic, art writer and social thinker whose prose remains among the most admired in the English language. Caroline Wurtzburg's selection gathers his most vivid descriptive writing, from mountains and cities to the Roman Campagna, offering a delightful way to dip into Ruskin's world. A neat pocket-sized hardback in its original green cloth, decorated with gilt pansies and a frontispiece portrait of Ruskin.
A pleasing volume for any lover of Victorian writing.
Condition
- Book
- Good. A firm, sound copy with a bright gilt design on the front board. The spine shows fading and light wear at the head and tail, the cloth is rubbed in places, and the page edges show age toning. Endpapers have some staining.
A pre-owned book; any wear beyond that described is minor and in keeping with its age.
