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. The accompanying essays place "Sesame and Lilies" within historical debates on men, women, culture and the family. Elizabeth Helsinger examines the text as a meditation on the pleasures of reading; Seth Koven gives a wide-ranging account of how Victorians read "Sesame and Lilies"; and Jan Marsh situates the work within controversies over educational reform.

很久没看原版，有点吃力
评分表示读纯美学的东西还是有些吃力
评分维多利亚时代核心文本之一。第二篇演讲'Of Queens' Gardens'因涉及女性问题，所以二十世纪广受重视（和批判），但我更喜欢第一篇。这一版配件很齐全，有前言，文中有注释，后面还有glossary（书中提到的所有人物、用典都有解释），外带三篇研究文章。三篇中，Seth Koven一篇最好，料多，对Ruskin的情况，于公于私都有介绍。另有一个bonus，这一版精装本在美国亚马逊，打折后只有14刀，感觉无比划算。耶鲁这套书不错，就是出得有点慢，严重期待今年6月这套书中卡莱尔《英雄崇拜》的出版。
