Book Description
Discursive, angry, and uncompromising, Fors is now seen as the most innovative and in many ways the most modern work of Ruskin's later years.

Book Description
Excerpt from Fors Clavigera, Vol. 2: Letters to the Workmen and Labourers of Great Britain On the thirteenth shelf of the south bookcase of my home-library, stand, first, Kenelm Digby's Broad Stone of Honour, then, in five volumes, bound in red, the "history of the ingenious gentleman, Don Quixote of La Mancha;" and then, in one volume, bound in green, a story no less pathetic, called the Mirror of Peasants. Its author does not mean the word "mirror" to be understood in the sense in which one would call Don Quixote the "Mirror of Chivalry;" but in that of a glass in which a man - beholding his natural heart, may know also the hearts of other men, as, in a glass, face answers to face. The author of this story was a clergyman; but employed the greater part of his day in writing novels, having a gift for that species of composition as well as for sermons, and observing, though he gave both excellent in their kind, that his congregation liked their sermons to be short, and his readers, their novels to be long. Among them, however, were also many tiny novelettes, of which, young ladies, I to-day begin translating for you one of the shortest; hoping that you will not think the worse of it for being written by a clergyman.
