Summary: "On the Old Road, Vol. 1" by John Ruskin is a collection of miscellaneous essays and articles on art and literature, written in the late 19th century. This volume serves as the first part of a broader exploration of artistic themes, touching on topics such as art history, criticism, and the principles of the Pre-Raphaelites. The compilation reflects Ruskin’s deep engagement with the artistic movements of his time and offers insights into the cultural and aesthetic values at play in 19th-century society. The opening of this work introduces an autobiographical reminiscence where Ruskin reflects on his formative years as a writer under the mentorship of W. H. Harrison, his first editor. In a nostalgic tone, he recounts their friendship and Harrison's rigorous standards for grammatical accuracy, which shaped Ruskin’s writing style. The text reveals Ruskin's insecurities and aspirations as he transitioned from a budding poet to a recognized art critic, setting the stage for a more extensive discussion on art and critical thought that follows in the subsequent essays.
