In this elegant and compelling book, Robert Hewison traces Ruskin's long and intricate relationship with the city. He shows how Ruskin shed his earlier Romantic vision of the city and developed a harder, clearer conception of neglected Gothic Venice through an intense study of the city's physical fabric that would change the international understanding of the city. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDrawing on the rich resources of Ruskin's drawings, architectural notebooks, and manuscripts (including previously unpublished daguerreotypes from Ruskin's own collection), Hewison offers fresh insights into both Ruskin and nineteenth-century\u003cb\u003e \u003c\/b\u003eVenice and reveals how Ruskin's work and his connection with the city from youth to old age have helped to shape the image of the Venice we know today. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePublished for the Paul Mellon Centre for Studies in British Art\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert Hewison\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0300121784\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780300121780\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Yale University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/16\/2010\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 500\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.88lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.15h x 9.18w x 1.32d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2010","brand":"Robert Hewison","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44076000411903,"sku":"9780300121780","price":65.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_6ee0c71f-966e-45bd-9e22-b3a4072d771e.jpg?v=1685462619","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ruskin-on-venice-robert-hewison-9780300121780","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
