‘Ruskin Tomorrow’: A man for the future?
Eminent Russian writer, Leo Tolstoy, believed that John Ruskin’s thoughts would be relevant for every generation and that they would speak to “what everyone will think and say in the future”. In a world that has changed so much since the period in which Ruskin lived (1819 – 1900), and continues to change so rapidly, how might Ruskin’s ideas fare in the future?
Howard Hull is Director of the Ruskin Foundation, and of Brantwood, John Ruskin’s former home in the Lake District, where he has lived with his wife, Pamela, since 1996. He is a Ruskin scholar and passionate advocate of his legacy.
