of Victoria,and,as Mr Quennell shows,the writer of some of the most eloquent proseof the nineteenth century,Ruskin was often erring,even unbalanced inhis judgements.But with his unceasing pursuit of beauty both in life andin the arts,with his idealisn,his personal charm,and his driving energy,he was one of the most vital and important figures of the age in whichhe lived.Mr Quennell's essay conveys the essence of his work and thefavour of his personality with persuasive clarity.  \nMr Quennel's many distinguished books include a fuller work onRuskin:John Ruskin:the Portrait of a Prophet;important works on Byron:Byron:The Years of Fame,Byron in Italy,and Byron:a self Portrait,and astudy of William Hogarth.He has for sone years been joint editor ofthe periodical History Today.
