Sacre Conversazioni
RUSKIN SOCIETY BOOK PRIZE NOMINEE 2025
From VT’s second conference in 2019, this collection of essays, by leading experts, explores John Ruskin’s visual theology and the dynamism of the Pre-Raphaelite religious imagination. Contributors include Suzanne Fagence Cooper, Lucy Hartley, Elizabeth Helsinger, and Alison Milbank. From drawings to daguerreotypes, stained glass to engravings, and from poetry to the Bible, this is a book with eyes on the sacre conversazioni created by visionaries from the Victorian era.
