"Fors Clavigera (Volume 4 of 8)" by John Ruskin is a collection of letters written in the late 19th century. This volume addresses the workmen and laborers of Great Britain, exploring themes of social responsibility, moral economics, and practical reform. Ruskin's writings reflect his deep concern for the welfare of working people and his vision for a more equitable society. The beginning of "Fors Clavigera" introduces the reader to Ruskin's contemplations on art, social injustices, and the practicalities of everyday life. He recounts an interaction with a little girl in Oxford and muses on the burdens of modern society compared to the idealization of art and beauty. Ruskin criticizes the complacency of his contemporaries about the significant issues plaguing their world and emphasizes the importance of root changes in society. He lays out his vision for reform, which includes a focus on agricultural education and a rejection of artificial machinery in favor of more traditional practices that promote labor and self-sufficiency. Through this opening, he sets the stage for a more profound exploration of the relationship between the individual, society, and the natural world.
