    Beauty for the Present: Mill, Arnold, Ruskin and Aesthetic Education

    No full text
    The present thesis examines the idea of aesthetic education of three eminent Victorians: John Stuart Mill, Matthew Arnold and John Ruskin. By focusing on the essence of what they meant with ‘the cultivation of the beautiful’ and, more importantly, the way their ideas of beauty informed their criticism of society, my study aims to contribute to our understanding of the idea of aesthetic education in the Victorian context and, further, to participate in a recent debate about the nature of beauty and aesthetic education. Chapter One focuses on John Stuart Mill’s concept of ‘feeling’ in a series of essays. I will demonstrate how Mill’s idea of ‘aesthetic education’ was an ‘education of feelings,’ and moreover, how this idea was integrated into his literary criticism, his later critique of democratisation, his description of an ideal liberal society and even his own style of writing. Chapter Two contains a comparative study of Matthew Arnold and Friedrich Schiller. Through a rereading of Arnold, I will argue that his idea of aesthetic education is essentially Schillerian and that their resemblance consists primarily in their stress on the importance of aesthetic unity for modern life, which was becoming increasingly fragmentary and multitudinous. Chapter Three examines John Ruskin’s idea of aesthetic education and concentrates particularly on the cultivation of perception. Perception, as I shall show, was pivotal in Ruskin’s idea of aesthetic education. Just as what happened in Mill and Arnold, the emphasis on the education of seeing continued from his early writings well into his art and social criticisms. It not only differentiated him from his fellow art critics; the conviction that people should perceive with a pure heart also enabled him to link observation of artistic details with moral criticism of contemporary society and, thereby, to turn the cultivation of the beautiful into a moral-aesthetic experience

    Selected letters of Matthew Arnold

    No full text
    Selected Letters of Matthew Arnold is a collection of 216 letters by the Victorian poet and critic Matthew Arnold (1822-88). The letters are arranged chronologically and grouped under four headings that represent stages in Arnold's adult life and career: "The Young Poet, 1844-51 " "The Married Poet and Inspector of Schools, 1851-57," "The Professor of Poetry and Literary Critic, 1857-67," and "The Critic of Society and Religion 1867-88." In these letters, Arnold, who wrote no autobiography, tells the story of his life and expresses his intimate views on a variety of subjects. In order to include the largest possible selection of interesting letters from both previously published and unpublished sources, some of the letters are given in part while others are given in their complete form. Along with the most important letters from the 1895 edition by G. W. E. Russell - principally made up of letters to family members - and the 1932 edition of letters to Author Hugh Clough by Howard F. Lowry, this new collection incorporates many significant letters from other sources, including 49 previously unpublished letters. Most of the Russell and Lowry letters have been newly edited, using the manuscript collections at Yale University and Balliol College, Oxford

    Corredor ecoturístico Capricornio: vinculando al Subtrópico

    No full text
    El desarrollo turístico de la Argentina está planificado con epicentro en Buenos Aires, de tal manera que los turistas se distribuyen de forma radial, sin que se hayan establecido circuitos turísticos independientes del centro. Ese es el caso del subtrópico argentino que posee una cantidad de destinos muy visitados, tales como las Cataratas de Iguazú (Misiones), los Esteros del Iberá (Corrientes) y la Quebrada de Humahuaca (Jujuy), pero a los que se accede en forma independiente desde Buenos Aires. A estos destinos tradicionales y muy concurridos (Iguazú recibe alrededor de un 1.000.000 de turistas al año; Iberá aproximadamente 25.000 turistas al año y la Quebrada de Humahuaca alrededor de 500.000 turistas al año), se le suman otros de gran potencial pero menos conocidos y menos desarrollados en términos de servicios turísticos tales como las Yungas (Reserva de Biósfera y Parque Nacional Calilegua) en Jujuy, el futuro Parque Nacional La Fidelidad en Chaco y el Bañado La Estrella en Formosa.Fil: Brown, Alejandro Diego.
