You can listen to our #Ruskin200 podcast here. As well as telling you more about what's in store at our 8th February conference and lecture, it also offers three scholars reflecting on how Ruskin has shaped their work.
- Prof John Holmes (University of Birmingham) talks about Ruskin and the Oxford University Museum of Natural History
"Perhaps Ruskin holds something for us now that perhaps twenty years ago we were less aware that he would hold for us"
- Dr Fraser Riddell (Trinity College, University of Oxford) explains how Vernon Lee responded to Ruskin's ideas
"Lee identifies in Ruskin three modes of transformation in how we live"
- Prof Fiona Stafford (Somerville College, University of Oxford) considers the importance of trees to Ruskin throughout his life
"[...] the contemporary emphasis on economics over other types of value [Ruskin] would have been very troubled by"
