This important work is written by Mr. Collingwood, who has been for
some years Mr. Ruskin’s private secretary, and who has had unique
advantages in obtaining materials for this book from Mr. Ruskin
himself and from his friends. It contains a large amount of new
matter, and of letters which have never been published, and is, in
fact, as near as is possible at present, a full and authoritative
biography of Mr. Ruskin. The book contains numerous portraits of
Mr. Ruskin, including a coloured one from a water-colour portrait
by himself, and also 13 sketches, never before published, by Mr.
Ruskin and Mr. Arthur Severn. A bibliography is added.
_The First Edition having been at once exhausted, a Second is now
ready._
‘No more magnificent volumes have been published for a long time
than “The Life and Work of John Ruskin.” In binding, paper,
printing, and illustrations they will satisfy the most fastidious.
They will be prized not only by the band of devotees who look up to
Mr. Ruskin as the teacher of the age, but by the many whom no
eccentricities can blind to his genius....’--_Times._
‘It is just because there are so many books about Mr. Ruskin that
these extra ones are needed. They survey all the others, and
supersede most of them, and they give us the great writer as a
whole.... He has given us everything needful--a biography, a
systematic account of his writings, and a bibliography.... This
most lovingly written and most profoundly interesting
book.’--_Daily News._
‘The record is one which is well worth telling; the more so as Mr.
Collingwood knows more about his subject than the rest of the
world.... His two volumes are fitted with elaborate indices and
tables, which will one day be of immense use to the students of
Ruskin’s work.... It is a book which will be very widely and
deservedly read.’--_St. James’s Gazette._
‘To a large number of people these volumes will be more
pre-eminently the book of the year than any other that has been, or
is likely to be, published.... It is long since we have had a
biography with such varied delights of substance and of form. Such
a book is a pleasure for the day, and a joy for ever.’--_Daily
Chronicle._
‘It is not likely that much will require to be added to this record
of his career which has come from the pen of Mr. W. G. Collingwood.
Mr. Ruskin could not well have been more fortunate in his
biographer.’--_Globe._
‘A noble monument of a noble subject. One of the most beautiful
books about one of the noblest lives of our century. The volumes
are exceedingly handsome, and the illustrations very
beautiful.’--_Glasgow Herald._
‘It is indeed an excellent biography of Ruskin.’--_Scotsman._
