Ruskinland: How John Ruskin Shapes Our World with Andrew Hill

Marking 200 years since the birth of John Ruskin, Andrew Hill's new book 'Ruskinland' explores the enduring influence of one of the most radical thinkers of the Victorian age. As an art critic, social activist, early environmentalist, artist and tastemaker in architecture and design, Ruskin's ideas sowed the seeds for the welfare state, universal education for all, free healthcare and the foundation of organisations such as the National Trust. In his talk, Hill will trace the networks of Ruskin's influence across the globe, meeting the people who continue to be shaped by Ruskin's ideas and and proving that, in part, we all inhabit 'Ruskinland'.
Speaker: Andrew Hill
