A Baker & Taylor Literary Essentials Title 'The up-to-date bibliography of works by many younger scholars tells readers Ruskin is not only persistent but resurgent. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above.' Choice ’This enterprising and authoritative collection of essays provides a stimulating overview of Ruskin’s multiple legacies, challenging readers to think about his wide-ranging influence in fresh ways’. Dinah Birch, University of Liverpool, UK 'This book is an impressively wide-ranging and original collection of essays exploring many aspects of Ruskin’s legacy. ... a richly varied and wide-ranging anthology...' The Companion: The Newsletter of the Guild of St George 'Readers of Nineteenth-Century Contexts will find in Persistent Ruskin an abundance of solidly interdisciplinary work ... It considers the breadth and complexity of his influence on widely different groups of his own contemporaries, and through them-as well as through direct continued reading of Ruskin himself-on subsequent generations all over the earth ... who have inherited and reacted to Ruskin’s work.' Nineteenth-Century Contexts ’...would make an excellent springboard for students interested in looking at Ruskin’s works in a different way. It should be an essential addition to the library of any serious Ruskin scholar.’ Review of the Pre-Raphaelite Society
