| Description: |
These essays present a wide ranging re-evaluation of Ruskin's place in relation to gender, and offer new perspectives on continuing debates on issues of gender in the Victorian period, and in our own. |
| Synopsis: |
For many years Ruskin has seemed, at best, a conservative thinker on gender roles. At worst, his lecture On Queens' Gardens from Sesame and Lilies was read as a locus classicus of Victorian patriarchal oppression. These essays challenge such assumptions, presenting a wide-ranging revaluation of Ruskin's place in relation to gender, and offering new perspectives on continuing debates on issues of gender - in the Victorian period, and in our own. |
