‘Modern gardeners’ with Rustic Ideals: Fruitful Congruencies between John Ruskin and William Robinson by Aurélien Wasilewski

“…This short quote from ‘Ruskin’s garden at Denmark Hill’, published in the December 11 issue of The Garden, 1886, sums up the extent of what William Robinson shared with John Ruskin, from his aesthetic theories to his social commitments, spiritual stance or environmental conscience. In fact, it appears that William Robinson read Ruskin extensively, but rather exclusively from the point of view of the gardener and we would argue that William Robinson considered John Ruskin’s work as an inspirational matrix on which he could base his aesthetic choices, new gardening practices, and even editorial and literary enterprises. …”
