Title of Thesis/Project/Extended Essay Author: - (signature) (name) Abstract Ruskin's political writing has generally been construed as a later pursuit separate from his earlier work in aesthetics. Rather than attributing his radical politics to his deep religious conviction, his hndamentalist upbringing, or the influence of Thomas Carlyle and other social reformers, this thesis is an endeavour to ground the origin and expression of Ruskin's politics in the aesthetics of landscape which he and his readers shared. The way Ruskin's contemporaries read his commentaries on both art and politics was determined to a great degree by the long tradition of English landscape painting and poetry. Prior to Ruskin's time, the British admiration for European masters and aesthetics became hsed with national concepts of property and ownership to produce emblems of felicity and propriety that both rationalized and disguised inequitable social conditions. In turn, this ideology of ownership and the practice of aestheticizing the topography of Britain was disseminated to a much wider population through the popular cult of the picturesque. Ruskin was an avid follower of the picturesque as a young man, and few of his contemporaries had studied as many paintings as he by the time he started to write Modem Painters (1843)' an early work in which painting and politics merge. Despite iv contemporary critical theory which consistently endorsed the disengagement of art from political criticism, Ruskin took the landscape tradition which he shared with his readers and through it he discovered and articulated his deep disillusion at the state of industrialized Britain. The landscape Ruskin thus constructed constituted a social commentary that assimilated theology, morality and aesthetics into a powerfbl rhetoric that ifised both the painting and the actual landscape of Britain with political meaning.

This thesis does not directly address issues of landscape gardening or landscape architecture largely because they do not figure prominently in Ruskin's work. They are fascinating areas of study but there is not space here to do them justice, except by allusion to their role in estate planning and in the development of the picturesque. John Dixon Hunt discusses Ruskin and the garden in Gardens and the Picturesque: Studies in the History of Landscape Architecture (Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press, 1992). All footnote references to Ruskin's works are from the Library Edition of E. T. Cook and Alexander Wedderburn The Works of John Ruskin (London: George Allen, 1903- 12) unless otherwise indicated. For clarity in each note I have given the name of the specific work (e.g. Modem Painters III), the date of first publication, and abbreviated Cook and Wedderburn to "C & W' followed by the appropriate volume and page number. Chapter 1 Introduction One can't help admiring a speaker who can begin a lecture promising to discuss landscape and icthyology-and never mention fish again. There is something endearing about titles like The Ethics of Dust: Ten Lectures to Little Housewives on the Elements of Ciystallization. However, there is also something very intimidating about writing on such a prolific and diverse a thinker as John Ruskin. His influence was as great as it was brief. William Morris, Bernard Shaw, Leo Tolstoy and Mahatma Gandhi all acknowledged Ruskin's great political influence,' but by the turn of the century few people were actually reading his work any more. He did more than anyone else to create the reputation of Turner and shape the taste of a century, but the Impressionists may just as well not have existed so far as Ruskin was concerned. What can account for the brevity of Ruskin's reputation? I would suggest that the critical position Ruskin occupied was an uncomfortable one; he was caught in the interregnum between two traditions and could not accept, nor be accepted by, either. Gandhi said that Unto This Last "marked the turning point in my life." Louis Fischer, The Life of Mahatma Gandhi (New York: Harper & Brothers, 1950), 69 in John D. Rosenberg, The Darkening Glass: A Portrait of Ruskin's Genius (New York: Columbia University Press, 196I), 132. 2 In the chapters that follow I will describe some of the forces and traditions that came together in the middle of the nineteenth century to make Ruskin among the most influential men of his time, and one of the most interesting. In fact, this is an investigation not so much of Ruskin himself as it is of the tradition of English landscape and John Ruskin's unique place within that tradition. Others who have written about Ruskin have shown the effect of Victorian religious morality, early economic theory, the suasive presence of great contemporary social reformers like Thomas Carlyle, and much else besides. I am concerned here with something less apparent at first, but something which helps account for the particular form of Ruskin's social criticism, and for some of the impact it had upon his readers: English landscape. The study of landscape is obviously central to Ruskin7swork, but I maintain that it acted as a pre-existent political language which he learned as a child, maskred as a young man, and articulated as a mature writer. I believe that Ruskin's place in the political tradition of landscape representation was shaped by the insatiable English taste for Italianate landscape which coincided with emerging perceptions of property and the nation, which I describe in Chapter 2. His condemnation of this tradition was so vehement in Modern Painters I(1843) that it is clear that he was rejecting more than a style of painting. It may come as some surprise, then, to see in chapter 3 how actively the young, pre-Modern Painters Ruskin pursued the picturesque, the popular aesthetic which disseminated much of the ideology of the previous landscape tradition. It is more surprising still that it was within the conventions of this picturesque that Ruskin began to clearly

Published by American Research Institute for Policy Development DOI: 10.15640/ijaah.v7n2p4 URL: https://doi.org/10.15640/ijaah.v7n2p4 The Black Image in the English Gaze: Depictions of Blackness in English Art Tony Frazier1 Abstract: This paper analyzes English art to view the black experience in the eighteenth-century. English painters placed black people into their portraits in various stations of life throughout the period. The fashioning and placement of black people in English art renders for the reader some interpretation how English artists used the black body in their paintings. These images of blacks emerged from the imaginations of white artists; thusly these portraits and prints are not from the black perspective of English society, but a reflection of white attitudes. Therefore, a certain caution exists in any interpretation of the paintings. The inference about the implications of the paintings develops from the gaze of white artists. This paper suggests that an interpretation through English art does reveal something about the status of black people and shed light on satirical explanations of race and sex in eighteenth-century England. Keywords: William Hogarth, Black British Art, George Moorland, Richard Cosway, British Painters, Frances Villiers In the minds of many white Londoners of the eighteenth century, blacks were very present in society. White Londoners in fact constructed their own images of blacks, which in many ways related to social reality of the day.

  • Representations of Rural England in Contemporary Folk Song
    Representations of Rural England in Contemporary Folk Song Heather Skinner Institute of Place Management, UK [email protected] Purpose: This paper explores aural representations of the countryside and English rurality through the contemporary cultural product of folk song. Methodology: A textual analysis was undertaken of the sleeve notes and lyrics of Steve Knightley, songwriter and founder member of the folk/roots band Show of Hands. Findings: The concept of the rural idyll is thoroughly debunked in the majority of these lyrics. Many songs make specific reference to place, and these, in the main, focus on the historical and contemporary hardships of living in rural England, in many cases also making explicit reference to the historical or contemporary social issues deemed by the lyricist to be at the root of the problems faced by people living in English rural communities. Research limitations: This article analyses data obtained in lyrics of only one songwriter within only one music genre, but the artist is one of the most respected within the contemporary folk genre, and Show of Hands have won a number of prestigious nationally recognised folk awards. Originality/value: The extant literature contains little concerning aural representations of place identities through song. The contribution this paper makes is therefore in presenting a conceptual framework that shows how folk song, as a contemporary cultural product contributes to the construction and communication of rural place identities. Keywords: Country life; Show

  • Reconsidering John Ruskin's 'Imagination Contemplative'
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE Reconsidering大分県立芸術文化短期大学研究紀要 第56巻（2018年） John Ruskin's ‘Imagination Contemplative’ 〔英語論文〕 Reconsidering John Ruskin's ‘ Imagination Contemplative’ Hajime OGINO Introduction This study has focused on ‘Imagination Contemplative’, a notion put forth by Victorian art critic John Ruskin (1819-1900) in his works prior to 1860 and has aimed to clarify the role of such a concept within his overall philosophy. Previous studies have already indicated that the concept of ‘imagination’ constituted an important part of Ruskin's theory of art, particularly in his earlier period. Some researchers would argue that his discussion on imagination in Modern Painters Ⅱ (1846) somehow lacked in originality. For instance, Masao Okamoto believes that, while Ruskin did attempt to perform his own individual dissection of Samuel Taylor Coleridge's thoughts, he was, in the end, similar to his contemporary Walter Pater 1, a mere imitator of Coleridge 2. In fact, Ruskin himself, as will be examined below in Section 1, was also reluctant to refer to the names he had assigned to each classification of imagination in Modern Painters Ⅱ in any of his later works. However, as shown by detailed footnotes in the library edition of Ruskin's complete works, his thoughts were not limited to his earlier publications but were constantly revised. Hence, when reconsidering Ruskin's theory on imagination, it is important to distinguish whether he was referring to one of the classifications provided in Modern Painters Ⅱ or something else in relation to the concept whenever he spoke of the word‘imagination’.

    SOME FURTHER NOTES ON THOMAS SIMON By s. A. H. WHETMORE AN addition to the volume of printed material already published on Thomas Simon, his family, and his work, can only be written with hesitation but, some information not hitherto included in numismatic literature having come to my notice, I venture to add it to the record. In the first place it may be useful to recall that the chief sources then avail­ able were given by Miss Helen Farquhar in her paper of 1932.1 To her list must be added her own paper of 1936, 2 one by Mr. H. W. Henfrey3 and two by Mr. D. F. Allen.4 Thomas Simon was a son of Peter Simon, born in Blackfriars, himself the son of a Peter Simon born within the jurisdiction of the French king. When Sir George Bolles, Lord Mayor of London, compiled in 1618 by order of the Privy Council a list of strangers residing in the City, the father of Thomas was recorded as living in Walbrook Ward and trading beyond the seas. 5 The following entry in the marriage registers of St. Stephen's Walbrook indicates that a home had been established in Walbrook by 1611. 25 Jan. 1611-12 John Johnson of Kingston in Surrey and Mary Bennett servant wth Mr. Peter Symond, frenchman. 6 Peter Simon married Anne, daughter of Gille Germain of Guernsey on 12 September 1611, in the French church then existing in Threadneedle Street.
