Produced by Stephen Hope, Joseph Cooper, Jeannie Howse and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Saint Ursula: I. The Story of St. Ursula. II. The Dream of St. Ursula." by Ruskin is a literary work that blends hagiography and artistic commentary, written in the early 20th century. It recounts the legendary tale of Saint Ursula, a noble maiden dedicated to a life of holiness, and reflects on the beauty and meaning of her story, intertwined with themes of faith, sacrifice, and virtue. The book serves both as a biography and a philosophical exploration of the ideals represented by the Saint. The first part, "The Story of St. Ursula," narrates Ursula's life, her beauty and wisdom, and her vows of chastity despite suitors' advances, culminating in a pilgrimage with a retinue of maidens that leads to their martyrdom at the hands of a heathen king. The narrative highlights her unwavering faith and the significance of her sacrifice for the cause of Christ. The second part, "The Dream of St. Ursula," is an artistic interpretation that describes a painting by Carpaccio, capturing Ursula's serene life. It portrays her character as industrious and virtuous, emphasizing the importance of combining royal dignity with humble labor. Through these two parts, Ruskin advocates for the celebration of feminine ideals rooted in both nobility and devotion to higher causes.
