Product Description

Ruskin

The Genesis of Invention

A remarkable study of how early literary, familial, sexual, and social experiences affect artistic identity.

Sheila Emerson (Author)

9780521128674, Cambridge University Press

Paperback / softback, published 4 February 2010

308 pages

21.6 x 14 x 1.8 cm, 0.39 kg

Although John Ruskin is widely considered to have produced some of the greatest prose in English, there has been no extended study of how he learned to write or of the language with which he represents his learning. This book begins with the prodigiously inventive child who looks ahead to what he will achieve, and ends with the adult who looks to his past for proof that he has never been inventive. Far from a simple about-face, Ruskin's self-denial is a culmination and extension of the art that he mastered in youth, and it is one of the most remarkable acts of self-representation in all of Victorian prose. Drawing on Ruskin's own sources as well as on more recent directions]
