Hey, would whoever shared the Ruskin & Pubic Hair link on Facebook let me know who they are? Just out of curiosity...

It was us. Hope it wasn't a problem, we'll take it down if you'd like.

There had been a conversation on our FB wall about Ruskin and Morris and somehow we ended up remembering the story that we'd heard back in Art History 101 about Ruskin's classically inspired bedroom troubles. In looking for a more definitive sourcing we stumbled across your analysis which, sadly, stole the myth from us.

No problem; quite the contrary -- happy to have the visitors. Lots of Ruskiniana around the blog, now & again.
