5.0 out of 5 stars Intelligent, patient, rewarding, 18 May 2004
By A Customer
A very good examination of the life and career of one of our greatest thinkers and critics. Very broad ranging whilst being more concise than some other biographies I have read of Ruskin. Gives a very thoughtful account of his relationship with Effie and his domestic life in general. Prof Batchelor delivers masterful scholarship, style and interest.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Overview, 9 April 2001
By A Customer
A good, judicious overview of the life and works, recommended for those who thought Tim Hilton's 2 volumes could have benefited from disciplined editing.
