- Title
Pugin and Ruskin.
- Authors

- Abstract
The article presents a constructive comparison of English architect A. W. N. Pugin and English art and social critic John Ruskin. Pugin and Ruskin's experiences of childhood were unusually rich and formative and their imaginative characters grew naturally, unchecked by intellectual convention and unmodified by criticism. Both also shared a profound religious sense articulated in the language of Evangelicalism. It is noted that their most important shared legacy was the romantic sensibility. They saw architecture as expressive and imbued with meaning.
