"Letters and Advice to Young Girls and Women" is a selection of Ruskin's essays and messages addressed to his readers, students and all young ladies who need delicate but wise life parting words. The letters are riddled with benevolent irony and fatherly care. In a delicate and condescending tone, Ruskin explains to his readers the most important issues of spiritual and social life. His messages cover fashion, charity, housekeeping, the rules of behavior in society and in the family, the selection of literature useful for the mind and heart, although spiritual enlightenment invariably comes first in all Ruskin's councils. Some recommendations or instructions of an outstanding critic and publicist have retained their relevance today, while others may serve primarily as an illustration of the specific nature of the historical period in which they were created. "Letters and Advice to Young Girls" is a curious and original Victorian document that is increasingly addressed by the interested gaze of modern readers - or, much more often, female readers.
