• Sommario/riassunto: The volume looks especially closely at Ruskin's changing attitudes to Catholicism.The son of a stoutly Bible-Protestant mother and a father politically opposed to the civil emancipation of Catholics, Ruskin found it increasingly difficult to combine his inherited anti-Catholicism with his appreciation of Byzantine-Venetian, Renaissance-humanist.
