QR code
"Fors Clavigera (Volume 5 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 of sincere labor and social reform, inspired by his mentor Thomas Carlyle. The letters tackle various topics aimed at influencing social change. This volume includes Ruskin's infamous attack on James McNeill Whistler's paintings, which sparked a libel case that would temporarily silence
Ruskin's art criticism. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
