Focusing on the environmental and social issues of the 19th century, John Ruskin's lectures explore the metaphor of the storm-cloud as a representation of industrialization's impact on nature and society. He critiques the degradation of the landscape and the moral implications of industrial progress, urging a return to a more harmonious relationship with the environment. Through eloquent prose, Ruskin emphasizes the need for societal change and environmental stewardship, making a compelling case for awareness and responsibility in the face of rapid industrial growth.
