Supplementary Texts
abstract
This section offers a selection of Ruskin’s other writings of the period, with the aim of showing that the Guide itself was part of a symbiotic plurality of texts, and of a larger programme of moral, social and aesthetic reform generally informing Ruskin's still neglected late work. From “Notes on Pictures in Milan, Padua and Venice” (1845); From Fors Clavigera, Letter 20 (August 1872) “Benediction”; From Fors Clavigera, Letter 71 (November 1876) “The Feudal Ranks”; From Collected Notes on Some of the Pictures in the St George’s Museum Sheffield (1876-77); From Fors Clavigera, Letter 74 (February 1877) “Father-Law”; “Carpaccio’s Ape” (1877); From “The Shrine of the Slaves”, “First Supplement” (ch. 10.), St Mark’s Rest (December 1877).
