John Ruskin Volgorde van de boeken
John Ruskin was een centrale figuur in de kunstkritiek en sociale hervormingen, wiens vroege werken de kunst van J. M. W. Turner verdedigden. Zijn uitgebreide geschriften onderzochten de kruispunten van kunst, natuur en ethiek, en doken vaak in de morele en spirituele implicaties van de industriële samenleving. Ruskin's onderscheidende stijl vloeide van gedetailleerde artistieke analyses naar breder sociaal en economisch commentaar. Zijn proza vormde het esthetisch begrip en inspireerde bewegingen voor milieubehoud en sociale rechtvaardigheid.
