Although widely popular in its time, the work in its entirety has been out of print since the early twentieth century. This volume returns Sesame and Lilies to easy availability and reunites the two halves of the work: Of Kings' Treasuries, in which Ruskin critiques Victorian manhood, and Of Queens' Gardens, in which he counsels women to take their places as the moral guides of men and urges the parents of girls to educate them to this end. Feminist critics of the 1960's and 1970's regarded Of Queens' Gardens as an exemplary expression of repressive Victorian ideas about femininity, and they paired it with John Stuart Mill's more progressive Subjection of Women. This volume, by including the often ignored Of Kings' Treasuries, offers readers full access to Ruskin's complex and sometimes contradictory views on men and women. The accompanying essays place Sesame and Lilies within historical debates on men, women, culture, and the family. Elizabeth Helsinger examines the text as a meditation on the pleasures of reading, Seth Koven gives a wide-ranging account of how Victorians read Sesame and Lilies, and Jan Marsh situates the work within controversies over educational reform. 410 0$aRethinking the Western tradition. 606 $aBooks and reading$zGreat Britain 606 $aConduct of life 606 $aMasculinity 606 $aFemininity 606 $aSex role 615 0$aBooks and reading 615 0$aConduct of life. 615 0$aMasculinity. 615 0$aFemininity. 615 0$aSex role. 676 $a824/.8 700 $aRuskin$b John$f1819-1900.$011255 701 $aNord$b Deborah Epstein$f1949-$01628421 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910813957703321 996 $aSesame and lilies$94002412 997 $aUNINA
