<head3>Biographical, Place, Bibliographic

Notes on historical persons and places, if well documented in Ruskin scholarship, consist of brief accounts designed to give the nonspecialist a helpful orientation while pointing to titles in the bibliography for further information. There is no attempt to repeat work already well done elsewhere, and the notes include references to the bibliography for further reading. At the same time, much information about figures and places familiar in Ruskin scholarship will gain new lights from annotations throughout this edition. The notes, while not attempting to gather together all this commentary, orient the reader to the edition by slanting discussion toward the role of these places and people respecting the early manuscripts.
