Ruskin, John

New York: John Wiley & Son, 1871.

Early Printing. Hardcover. Very Good- with no dust jacket. Item #12331

Unopened pages, light tone, otherwise slight wear. Crisp hardcover.; "Time and Tide consists of Ruskin's published letters to his friend Thomas Dixon, a cork cutter. Like the better known letters of Fors Clavigera, Ruskin chooses events from his everyday life as occasions for thoughtful social criticism. As a sequel to Unto this Last (1860), Ruskin outlines responsibilities for workers in an ideal society, finding ample opportunity to inveigh against the real society surrounding him." - Dinah Birch, Francis O'Gorman; Ruskin and Gender, page 165. ; 210 pages.
