To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
To the public he may indeed still serve as a useful check upon that pursuit of the merely new which is ever the temptation of the under- educated and also of the over-educated. But to the worker in art, the would-be creator, such criticism as this of Ruskin's can but cause hindrance and confusion. Every instinct of the true artist cries out against its falsehood ; repelled and disgusted he falls into that mood of scorn for every external judgment which for him of all men is so dangerous. The se...nse of being misunderstood drives him into isolation and bitterness, into little mutual admiration cliques and schools of rebellious exaggeration. By the time that Ruskin's captious words were penned, Walker lay safely beyond them in his grave at Cookham ; but it was probably by similar utterances no less than by too flattering imitations often like other flattery 75 FREDERICK WALKER extremely painful to the flattered that he was driven to the "touchiness/' the ex- aggerated reticence and the recoiling from almost all discussion of his work that marked his later years.
