	The present Ruskin House, Coombe Hill House
		Ruskin House's garden is unique, in that the garden represents a view of what a town house garden of previous centuries was like.
		The garden at the rear of the house was one the largest in central Croydon and appropriate for an important residence.
		The garden at Ruskin House, formerly Coombe Hill House, is rather typical of a grand Georgian town house.

	John Ruskin
		Ruskin was born in London and educated at the University of Oxford (Christ Church), where he was awarded a prize for poetry, his earliest interest.
		Ruskin taught first at the Working Men's College in London[?], and then at Oxford University as Slade Professor of Art[?].
		Upon the death of his father (who was a wealthy wine merchant), Ruskin declared that it was not possible to be a rich socialist and gave away most of his inheritance to educational organizations including the George's Guild[?] in Paddington, the Whitelands College[?] in Chelsea[?] and the John Ruskin School[?] in Camberwell.

	Art/Museums - Ruskin, Turner and the Pre-Raphaelites (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Ruskin was not impressed with two of the "views" his father purchased, of Gosport and Winchelsea, and as a result he was given the freedom to choose his own pictures when his father gave him stocks worth 200 pounds that year (1840).
		Ruskin’s landmark trip to Lucca that year resulted in drawings of the early Italian painters in the Church of San Romano, the Duomo, studies of the façade of San Michele, and drawings (which have not survived) of Ilaria de Caretto’s tomb in the Duomo, carved by Jacopo della Quercia in 1430.
		Ruskin was not the inventor of Pre-Raphaelitism or the Gothic Revival; the Revival’s leader was the Roman Catholic convert Augustus Welby Pugin (1812-52), who began work on the Houses of Parliament in London with Charles Barry (1785-1860) in 1840, and Ruskin, along with the Pre-Raphaelites popularized and brought Protestant ideas into the existing avant-garde.

	John Ruskin (1819-1900) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		John Ruskin, the greatest Victorian bar Victoria, was an artist, scientist, poet, environmentalist, philosopher, and, importantly here, the pre-eminent art critic of his time.
		When, after this, Ruskin met the Pre-Raphaelites, he encouraged them in their ideals, acting as tutor, mentor, and generous supporter to Rossetti, Millais and Holman Hunt, as well as later artists in a similar spirit such as John Brett and John William Inchbold.
		Ruskin taught Pre-Raphaelite style drawing at the Working Men's College in London for some years, enlisting Rossetti to teach figure and watercolour painting, and afterwards Ford Madox Brown to fill the same position.

	John Ruskin - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The emergence of the Aesthetic movement and Impressionism alienated Ruskin from the art world, and his later writings were increasingly seen as irrelevant, especially as he seemed to be more interested in book illustrators such as Kate Greenaway than in modern art.
		Although Ruskin wrote about architecture in many works over the course of his career, his much-anthologized essay "The Nature of Gothic" from the second volume of The Stones of Venice (1853) is widely considered to be one of his most important and evocative discussions of his central argument.
		Ruskin's pioneering of the ideas that led to the Arts and Crafts movement was related to the growth of Christian socialism, an ideology that he helped to formulate in his book Unto This Last, in which he attacked laissez faire economics because it failed to acknowledge the complexities of human desires and motivations.

	Chris Orr's John Ruskin (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		As a subject, Ruskin first suggested himself through a reading of Ronald Pearsall's The Worm in the Bud, which mentions some of Ruskin's erotic nightmares, but behind that there was a reading of all the volumes of Proust's Remembrance of Things Past for a general studies thesis at the Royal College of Art.
		Ruskin's face is obscured, and it might be Ruskin in youth, or old age, the figure in the kitchen his mother, or his housekeeper.
		The pillow from Ruskin's room is hurled off at the climax of a nightmare, Carlyle's book goes flying, and Ruskin's passion points fiercely at the mountains, while young girl thoughts smile enigmatically from the cupboard.

	Part 8: Wilde at Home
		Thus he introduced a new notion of the home in his "House Beautiful" campaign that focused more on the aesthetically pleasing form of the house than its occupants.
		In doing so, he opened up the roles of the house's occupants to play--and play-acting was precisely what many visitors to the home of Oscar and Constance Wilde believed they saw.
		While men perform their "rough work in the open world," women create "a temple of the hearth, watched over by Household Gods." Ruskin goes on to suggest that this domestic temple is a moral quality that follows a woman wherever she goes.
