| Summary | "The Life of John Ruskin" by W. G. Collingwood is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the life and influences of John Ruskin, a prominent art critic, social thinker, and writer of the 19th century, highlighting his Scottish roots, formative years, and the development of his thoughts and works. The opening of the text delves into Ruskin's ancestry and the familial influences that shaped his character from a young age. It traces his origins back to a mixed Scottish heritage, detailing family connections and notable ancestors who contributed to his upbringing. This section establishes a foundation for understanding the complexities of Ruskin's personality and intellect, as well as his rise in the artistic and philosophical realms.
