New York: John Wiley & Son, 1869. Ruskin turned to social issues rather than art as he entered his forties. These two lectures (expanded to three in later editions) were first published London, 1865, and by Wiley in 1866 and many subsequent printings. "Sesame and Lilies stands as a classic 19th-century statement on the natures and duties of men and women-- Ruskin's critique of Victorian manhood and his counsel to women and parents of girls." This is a very nice copy of an early American edition. Hard Cover. 119 pages; 21 cm. No dj; VG. stock#OB034.
