| Description | Why do many of us yearn for the countryside? Do we long for a pastoral utopia - that may never have existed - and still doesn't? Sally Goldsmith explores some of her current thinking about the contradictions between the ideals and reality of living on the land. This will particularly draw upon her own experience and history, and on Ruskin’s utopian St George’s Farm in Totley. The event will include research, poems, even a song... 2019 marks the bicentenary of Ruskin's birth and this is part of a season of talks, events and activities at Sheffield Central Library celebrating the ideas and legacies of John Ruskin Events are all free but must be booked in advance via www.sheffieldlibraries.eventbrite.co.uk unless otherwise stated. |
