| Summary | "Arrows of the Chace, vol. 2/2" by John Ruskin is a collection of letters addressing political, economic, and miscellaneous matters written in the mid to late 19th century. This volume compiles Ruskin’s reflections on significant issues of his time, such as the Italian Question, England’s foreign policy, and social critiques, revealing his strong opinions and passionate engagement with contemporary events. The opening of this work features Ruskin's letters concerning the Italian Question, highlighting his astonishment and frustration regarding the perceived hypocrisy of Protestant nations during political turmoil. He reflects on the consequences of Austrian authority over Italy and critiques the moral failures of foreign interventions grounded in self-interest rather than justice or freedom. Through vivid expressions and personal anecdotes, Ruskin calls for a greater understanding of the responsibilities inherent in political action, framing the struggle for Italian independence in moral terms and emphasizing the need for intervention in the face of oppression.
