Sesame and Lilies, by John Ruskin, comprises two lectures delivered in 1864 addressing critical aspects of Victorian society. In "Of King's Treasuries," Ruskin explores the profound importance of books and reading, advocating for a deep engagement with literature as a source of wisdom and moral guidance. He critiques the superficial reading habits of his contemporaries, urging a more thoughtful and discerning approach to the written word. In "Of Queens' Gardens," Ruskin delves into the roles and education of women, arguing for their intellectual development and influence within the domestic sphere. He idealizes women as moral guardians and sources of inspiration, while also reflecting the era's complex and often restrictive views on gender. Ruskin's eloquent prose and insightful social commentary make Sesame and Lilies a significant work of Victorian literature, offering valuable perspectives on culture, education, and the enduring power of books.
