Packet 5: Bonus 10

John Holloway coined the phrase “Victorian sage writing” for jeremiads like this author’s “Traffic,” in which he lectured the middle classes of Bradford for their tasteless new Wool Exchange. For 10 points each:
[10e] What Victorian critic defined “excrescence” in Gothic Revival architecture, wrote The Stones of Venice, and paid J. M. Whistler one farthing in libel damages?
ANSWER: John Ruskin
[10m] Ruskin pointed out that “foam is not cruel, neither does it crawl” to show that a Charles Kingsley poem makes this error. Ruskin claims that poets commit this “fallacy” by assigning interior states to external things.
ANSWER: pathetic fallacy
[10h] This author parodied the sage style of Ruskin and Carlye in his “A Defence of Cosmetics,” which made the reputation of The Yellow Book. Each story in this author’s A Christmas Garland mimics a different Edwardian.
ANSWER: Max Beerbohm
