Love's Meinie - John Ruskin - Bog

Love's Meinie: Three Lectures On Greek And English Birds is a book written by the famous Victorian-era writer and art critic, John Ruskin. The book is a collection of three lectures that Ruskin gave on the subject of birds in ancient Greek and English literature. In the first lecture, Ruskin discusses the role of birds in Greek mythology and literature. He explores how birds were used as symbols and metaphors in ancient Greek culture, and how they were often associated with the gods and goddesses of the pantheon. The second lecture focuses on the birds of England, and Ruskin's observations of their behavior and characteristics. He describes the beauty and diversity of the birds he has encountered in his travels throughout the country, and reflects on their significance in English literature and culture. The final lecture is a comparison between the birds of Greece and England, and Ruskin's thoughts on the similarities and differences between the two. He examines the ways in which birds have been depicted in art and literature throughout history, and how they continue to inspire and captivate us today. Overall, Love's Meinie is a fascinating exploration of the natural world and its intersection with human culture and creativity. Ruskin's poetic prose and keen observations make this book a must-read for anyone interested in birds, literature, or the history of ideas.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
