" ... one of the most eye-opening works I have seen for a long time." - MRJ to Gwendolen James, 23 April 1925, printed in Letters to a Friend (p. 132)

Should it be reassuring that I used, years ago, the same book that Proust carried with him when he set himself to follow Ruskin's trail on Gothic architecture?

My Professor on the subject was also a Ruskinian and often began his lectures quoting his writings.

I have to rescue this book from storage and read it again. ( )
