About this book
John Ruskin’s Sesame and
Lilies (1865) consists of two lectures, “Of Kings’ Treasuries” and “Of Queens' Gardens,” delivered in December 1864 at the town halls at Rusholme and
Manchester. While these lectures emphasize the connections between nature, art
and society, they are essentially concerned with education and ideal conduct.
The first half of the original work, “Of Kings’ Treasuries,” is a critique of
Victorian manhood. The second half, “Of Queens' Gardens,” counsels women to be
moral guides and urges parents to educate them as such. Although Sesame and
Lilies was widely popular in its time, the work in its entirety has been out of
print since the early twentieth century.
