description: More than 150 years after its first publication in 1851-53, this massive work by a great Victorian writer, critic, and artist remains one of the most influential books on art and architecture ever written. In it John Ruskin surveys many of the principle buildings in the Paradise of Cities, and develops an aesthetic and intellectual argument that is still at the heart of the debate over the meaning of architecture and craftsmanship.
