Fors Clavigera (Volume 1 of 8) by John Ruskin
"Fors Clavigera (Volume 1 of 8)" by John Ruskin is a series of letters published during the 1870s. Addressed to British workmen and laborers, these pamphlets reflect Ruskin's moral vision and social concerns inspired by his mentor Thomas Carlyle. The letters explore sincere labor, moral values, and social change. The work's cryptic title symbolizes three powers shaping human destiny: Force, Fortitude, and Fortune. One letter sparked a famous libel case with painter
James McNeill Whistler that would alter Ruskin's career. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
