Ruskin's essays on art and architecture were extremely influential in the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
Ruskin was born in London, and raised in south London, the son of a wine importer who was one of the founders of the company that became Allied Domecq. He was educated at home, and entered the University of Oxford without proper qualifications for a degree. Nevertheless he impressed the scholars of Christ Church after he won the Newdigate prize for poetry, his earliest interest. In consequence, and despite a protracted period of serious illness, he was awarded a double-third degree.
