So, its clear what ruined his marriage, he wanted a child not a woman.
I've been thinking about Ruskin so much the past week, and here one of my favorite CZcams channels uploads a documentary! I love the shows you post.
That he foresaw global warming is impressive.
That his parents hoped he would become poet laureate or the Archbishop of Canterbury is amusing, incredible, very difficult to imagine.
Short documentary. Nice to look at. I knew not much more than his name and vocation before seeing it.
Thanks again.
Great documentary, thank you!
This was superb. I used to walk through Ruskin park in Camberwell to snd from my digs to the hospital while training in the 70s. It was a beautiful template for the changing seasons 😃
I live quite close to Harristown House where Rose La Touché lived. What a sad life.
Thank you.:most interesting.
28:22 this is more Ruskin confabulation. If he had a realistic idea of what was entailed in building from Gothic back to the Pyramids, he’d know it wasn’t much different: repetition and ceaselessness.
He romanticized labor like this because he did none himself.
What a joy to find your channel. Many Thanks. Your content is exceptional. Subscribed.😊
@@Jo-w welcome to the cool club 🥳
His name is NOT forgotten. Don’t be so trite.
Very eccentric. Is he the source for Thomas Mann's Death in Venice?
" shrank from the human form" is meaningless

I bet Rossetti spread the rumours about public hair phobia.
He was a bigot and had Turner's drawings burnt. If he was not allowed to destroy others work I would like him a lot more, bigot or not.he was interested in the innocence of children and let's face it the victorians married at about 14 years of age often. But he was a little boy romantically. He was threatened by eom3n. Hopefully not an abuser.
Maybe Ruskin was gay.
Very likely. This was also the Victorian age when the Queen told her daughter, on her wedding night, to close her eyes and think of England.
@@jamesmccarthy3198 That saying is wrongly ascribed to Victoria (who in fact plainly very appreciative of marital sex and referred to her marriage night as being 'bliss beyond belief'!)
@@jamesmccarthy3198I doubt this. Queen Victoria’s diary tells a different story. Her diary entry about her wedding night showed that she not only did not close her eyes, but enjoyed the experience! It is even more remarkable that this entry survived the censorship imposed on Queen Victoria’s diary by her daughter.
Almost certainly - but you couldn't admit it in those days - except for Oscar Wilde and John Adington Symonds - I wish someone would produce a documentary about this latter identity - very interesting life. First came across Symonds when I studied Renaissance history when I read his books on the Renaissance in Italy. Symonds too had some peculiar aesthetic ideals similar to Ruskin's but Symonds wrath and disdain was aimed at the baroque and rococo styles!
Who has a love affair with a ten year old?
A sexually stunted Victorian gentleman?

CZcams is a censorious prude, so I can't answer you.
Im still waiting for them to say its wrong. But theyare talking like its ok.
Stopped watching at the words "Global Warming."
Just as well. You wouldn’t have absorbed much knowledge apparently.
I nearly stopped as well but persevered and said to myself "I have to take this stuff with a big grain of salt!"There are people in every age who see the past with rose tinted glasses - I bet if one went back to Ruskin's beloved Middle Ages there would have been people sighing for the age of king Arthur and the dark ages!
