ALL WELCOME

For this year's Mikimoto Memorial Ruskin Lecture we welcome back the founding Director of the Ruskin Library project and research programme at Lancaster University, Professor Michael Wheeler. In 1999, when Michael published Ruskin's God (CUP), he completed 26 years as an academic at Lancaster and moved to work on the Chawton House Library project in Hampshire. In his illustrated lecture, based on new research for his most recent book, St John and the Victorians (CUP, November 2011), he considers Ruskin's imaginative response to some of the best known stories in the New Testament - the marriage at Cana, Jesus and the woman at the well, the raising of Lazarus - and works of art based on these stories. Ruskin's personal motto was inspired by a verse from John's gospel, and when he died in 1900 a working man sent a wreath with an epitaph taken from the prologue: 'There was a man sent from God, whose name was John'. The lecture complements the theme of this term's postgraduate Ruskin Seminar series, 'Ruskin and the Sacred'.
