Arthur Hugh Clough is one of the most undervalued Victorian poets.
His importance is now being recognized, and the New Oxford Book of
Victorian Verse assigns him his rightful position as a major poet.
While an undergraduate at Balliol and a Fellow of Oriel, Clough
wrote a series of intensely personal diaries, which throw light not
only on his own development as a poet, but on the Oxford education
of the time and the religious sensibility of the early Victorian
era. Having been influenced by Thomas Arnold at Rugby, Clough felt
the attraction at Oxford of the charisma of Newman. He was torn
between the liberal and the catholic view of Christianity and began
to raise the questions which led him eventually to agnosticism. In
lighter moments the Diaries show Clough boating on the river and
walking with Matthew Arnold through the countryside immortalized by
The Scholar Gypsy.
