1893. Two Volumes in One. With portraits and other illustrations. A study of the life and works of Ruskin, the greatest Victorian bar Victoria, written by a man who had known him for more than 20 years. He was an artist, scientist, poet, environmentalist, philosopher, and preeminent art critic of his time. Collingwood traces his life from its origin in London to his last days, which were spent in seclusion at Brantwood on Lake Coniston, following a mental breakdown owing to his disappointment in love over Rose la Touche. He was laid to rest in the Coniston Churchyard. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
