She had joined the Ruskin household when she became companion to John James's mother, Catherine. His wife, Margaret Cock (1781–1871), was the daughter of a publican in Croydon. John James was born and brought up in Edinburgh, Scotland, to a mother from Glenluce and a father originally from Hertfordshire. His father, John James Ruskin (1785–1864), was a sherry and wine importer, founding partner and de facto business manager of Ruskin, Telford and Domecq (see Allied Domecq). Ruskin was the only child of first cousins.

After a period of relative decline, his reputation has steadily improved since the 1960s with the publication of numerous academic studies of his work. Ruskin was hugely influential in the latter half of the 19th century and up to the First World War. In all of his writing, he emphasised the connections between nature, art and society. The elaborate style that characterised his earliest writing on art gave way in time to plainer language designed to communicate his ideas more effectively. He also made detailed sketches and paintings of rocks, plants, birds, landscapes, architectural structures and ornamentation. He wrote essays and treatises, poetry and lectures, travel guides and manuals, letters and even a fairy tale. Ruskin's writing styles and literary forms were equally varied. He wrote on subjects as varied as geology, architecture, myth, ornithology, literature, education, botany and political economy.
