Reviews

A profound commitment to the thoughtful reading of Ruskin texts is found in Gill Chitty’s book Reading Ruskin’s Cultural Heritage, Conservation and Transformation, with which I have been living delightedly for some weeks. The work contains ‘six stimulating essays on Ruskin’s readership and reception, his transformative perceptions of heritage futures and provocative writing on cultural landscapes and the arts and crafts’. The substantial readings at the ends of the six chapters have been chosen with exemplary care, and it has been a pleasure to read and re-read them aloud. - Peter Burman, Guild of St George A profound commitment to the thoughtful reading of Ruskin texts is found in Gill Chitty’s book Reading Ruskin’s Cultural Heritage, Conservation and Transformation, with which I have been living delightedly for some weeks.
