Sesame and Lilies (LARGE PRINT EDITION)

Focusing on gender roles and societal responsibilities, this classic work features three lectures by John Ruskin that explore the nature of men and women in the Victorian era. In "Of Kings' Treasuries," he critiques the concept of Victorian manhood, while "Of Queens' Gardens" emphasizes the importance of women as moral guides and advocates for their education. Ruskin's insights reflect his multifaceted expertise as an artist, philosopher, and environmentalist, making this volume a significant contribution to 19th-century thought.
