	Ruskin Museum, Coniston, Cumbria, About Ruskin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		The main effects on Ruskin were that he actually became the 'good man', the man of conscience, and also that he saw the natural world to be 'as full of God's words as the Bible'.
		Ruskin said that it would lead to dishonesty and a 'rage to be rich.' He also wrote of the 'Goddess of Getting-On' - a deity worshipped by those having no faith in true values.
		Ruskin knew that philosophers and thinkers of the past, such as Plato, had come to ethical and moral judgments not unlike the fundamentals of Christianity.

	Ruskin, John Criticism and Essays
		Ruskin is also considered one of the greatest prose stylists in the English language and is perhaps as well known today for the eloquence of his prose as for its substance.
		Ruskin's writings on economics are similarly valued for their moral force, rather than for their importance to the study of political economy.
		Ruskin's economic works are often criticized for their basis in untenable analogies between the economics of an estate and those of a nation, as well as for the same disorder and illogic that mar his aesthetic writings.

		Ruskin married (1848) Euphemia (Effie) Gray (the child of whom he had written The King Of the Golden River) but in 1854 the marriage was annulled and Effie later married Millais.

		"Many were worried that the college sites had been seriously undervalued and that their full financial potential had not been investigated," said Teresa Munby, a law tutor at Ruskin, chair of the Association of University Teachers group and a staff member of the governing executive.

	Relying too Much on the Bembridge Hammer: A review of Tim Hilton, John Ruskin: The Later Years.
		According to this view of Ruskin and Ruskin studies, to understand the meaning and significance of his writings, one must see them within the living context of contemporary political events (particularly the 1867 Reform Bill), Victorian belief and its many crises relating to Biblical interpretation (typology, prophecy, apocalyptics, and the Higher Criticism).
		Johnson, one of the founders of modern Victorian Studies, he began by telling the six of us in his graduate seminar, that Ruskin was a key to an incredibly rich and complex age and that if we could understand the equally rich and complex Ruskin, we would have a powerful means of understanding the Victorians.
		Like Ruskin, both Carlyle, who was hardly a Christian of any form, and Swinburne, a self-proclaimed fiercely anti-Christian atheist, also continually make elaborate scriptural allusion that require a sophisticated understanding of biblical exegetics.
