Ruskin's writings are seen to shelter an incipient modernism that predicts a major current in the work of the next century; contributors explore facets of Ruskin's thinking such as his relentless testing of the relationship between aesthetics and ethics, his sense of history and myth, and his inquiries into architecture and the rise of the modern city.
