Fors Clavigera (Volume 6 of 8) by John Ruskin
"Fors Clavigera (Volume 6 of 8)" by John Ruskin is a series of letters published during the 1870s. Addressed to British workmen and laborers, these pamphlets explore Ruskin's moral and social vision centered on the dignity of sincere labor. Inspired by his mentor Thomas Carlyle, Ruskin tackles various topics aimed at influencing social change. The collection includes his infamous attack on James McNeill Whistler's paintings, which sparked a libel case that temporarily
ended Ruskin's art criticism career. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
