1937 John Ruskin SESAME AND LILIES,Victorian Sexuality,Nature/Duty of Men,Women

Description: RARE, out of print. Princeton English Dep't:"John Ruskin’s “Sesame and Lilies”, first published in 1865, stands as a classic 19th-century statement on the natures and duties of men and women. Although widely popular in its time, the work in its entirety has been out of print since the early 20th century. This volume reunites the two halves of the work: “Of Kings’ Treasuries”, in which Ruskin critiques Victorian manhood, and “Of Queens’ Gardens”, in which he counsels women to take their places as the moral guides of men and urges the parents of girls to educate them to this end. Feminist critics of the 1960s and 1970s regarded “Of Queens’ Gardens” as an exemplary expression of repressive Victorian ideas about femininity, and they paired it with John Stuart Mill’s more progressive “Subjection of Women”. This volume, by including the often ignored “Of Kings’ Treasuries”, offers readers full access to Ruskin’s complex and sometimes contradictory views on men and women." 1937 Edition of SESAME AND LILIES by Ruskin in decorated green cloth. VERY GOOD Condition with some light soiling, light wear, no writing, no loose, torn or missing pages and a tight, firm, square binding.
