Green Victorians

The Simple Life in John Ruskin's Lake District

Edición de la obra Green Victorians

From Henry David Thoreau to Bill McKibben, critics and philosophers have long sought to demonstrate how a sufficient life - one without constant, environmentally damaging growth - might still be rich and satisfying. Yet one crucial episode in the history of sufficiency has been largely forgotten. 'Green Victorians' tells the story of a circle of men and women in the English Lake District who attempted to create a new kind of economy, turning their backs on Victorian consumer society in order to live a life dependent not on material abundance and social prestige but on artful simplicity and the bonds of community.
