John Ruskin by John Batchelor

John Ruskin (1819-1900) was fundamentally a post-Romantic visionary. This fact underlies his activities as art critic and writer on architecture, and also his passionate advocacy of an alternative social model for Britain. This general biography commemorates the centenary of Ruskin's death.

Batchelor has written about restaurants and travel since 1981. He is the restaurant reviewer for the Greensboro News & Record and formerly for the Winston-Salem Journal. Batchelor came across the idea for this book through his frequent judging of cooking competitions, including the Western North Carolina Chef's Challenge (restaurants compete in and around Asheville, N.C.) and the Fire on the Rock Chef's Challenge (restaurants in and around Blowing Rock and the High Country).
