The Storm-Cloud of the Nineteenth Century, Two Lectures delivered at the London Institution February 4th and 11th, 1884

Exploring environmental and societal issues, this work features two lectures by John Ruskin, delivered in 1884. Ruskin addresses the impact of industrialization on nature and human life, emphasizing the connection between the health of the environment and the well-being of society. He critiques the moral and aesthetic consequences of pollution and urbanization, urging a return to a more harmonious relationship with nature. The lectures reflect Ruskin's deep concern for the future of both the landscape and humanity.
