Summary "The Pleasures of England" by John Ruskin is a collection of lectures delivered at Oxford, likely written in the late 19th century. The work addresses the intersections of art, faith, and national character, exploring the development of English culture through various epochs and promoting a greater appreciation for its heritage. The lectures aim to illuminate the societal conditions that foster artistic expression, moral duty, and collective identity throughout English history. The opening portion sets the stage for Ruskin’s examination of "The Pleasures of Learning," discussing the current state of English art and the potential future of the nation. He reflects on the need for a just understanding of England's artistic life, emphasizing a moral philosophy rooted in education and sensibility. Ruskin appeals to the youth of England to engage earnestly in shaping the character and appearance of their environment, drawing connections between historical influences and national identity. His tone is both reflective and urgent, urging listeners to appreciate the rich legacy of England and the artistic expressions that arise from a deeper understanding of their ancestry.
