Summary "Arrows of the Chace, vol. 1/2" by John Ruskin is a collection of essays and letters written in the mid-19th century. This work compiles a range of his thoughts on art, architecture, and education, primarily drawn from his previous writings in various newspapers spanning four decades. Through this anthology, Ruskin aims to reflect his insights and critiques on the artistic movements of his time, particularly focusing on the influence of Pre-Raphaelitism and the legacy of artists like Turner. The opening of this collection presents Ruskin's author's preface, where he expresses a fondness for the letters he penned, nostalgic about the insights he shared over the years. He emphasizes the importance of clear and passionate engagement with art, arguing for deeper understanding and appreciation beyond superficial criticism. In an era marked by eclecticism and commercialism in the arts, Ruskin's letters advocate for a return to sincerity and depth in artistic expression, setting the stage for the more detailed discussions and critiques that follow in the subsequent chapters.
