"The Harvest of Ruskin" by John W. Graham is a critical examination of John Ruskin's teachings in the realms of religion and economics, written in the early 20th century. The author aims to provide an assessment of Ruskin's relevance to contemporary societal needs, focusing primarily on his social reforms and educational initiatives—while deliberately omitting his contributions to art and natural history. Through this analysis, Graham seeks to illuminate the true value of Ruskin's ideas, arguing that they remain significant, even prophetic, for modern audiences grappling with similar issues of industrialism and war. The opening of the work sets the stage for a deep dive into Ruskin's life and philosophies, commencing with reflections on how his teachings have aged a century after his birth. Graham establishes Ruskin's identity as a prophetic figure, exploring his influences and the challenges he presented against the prevailing doctrines of his time. The text highlights Ruskin's aesthetic appreciation of nature, his insistence on moral responsibility in economics, and his fierce criticism of industrial practices that harm both beauty and humanity. Through a personal narrative interwoven with scholarly critique, the author aims to show that Ruskin's legacy as a thinker concerned with social justice and ethical living continues to resonate in contemporary discourse.
