About this book

In these celebrated lectures, the great Victorian critic John Ruskin reflects on work, war, art, and the conduct of life, urging his listeners toward integrity, beauty, and social responsibility. Ranging from the value of honest labor to the meaning of true wealth, he writes with moral passion and luminous prose that influenced reformers, artists, and thinkers from Tolstoy to Gandhi. Though rooted in his own age, his concerns about materialism, craftsmanship, and the good society remain strikingly current. Eloquent and challenging, The Crown of Wild Olive distills the ethical vision of one of the nineteenth century's most influential writers on art and life.
