«The Lamp of Memory» is John Ruskin's essay, published by Penguin in paperback (144 pages, in English).
John Ruskin challenges Victorian ideas about art and architecture by arguing that old buildings should be preserved for their profound connection with the past. Against the logic of economic profit, creative design should convey enduring human truths and give meaning to collective experience.
Ruskin's original work was published in 1849, and the Penguin Books paperback appeared in 2008, as part of the Penguin Great Ideas series.
For those interested in architectural theory, art history, and nineteenth-century thought.
John Ruskin was an English polymath – a writer, lecturer, art historian, art critic, draughtsman and philanthropist of the Victorian era. He wrote on subjects as varied as art, architecture, political economy, education, museology, geology, botany, ornithology, literature, history, and myth.
