This study defines the relationship between humanism and
liberalism by comparing the two Victorian figures who were most
concerned with the preservation of humanistic values in a free and
democratic society: Matthew Arnold and John Stuart Mill. The book
sets apart Arnold and Mill from their contemporaries and points out
their similarities to one another in discussions of their theories
of history, poetry, their celebration of the contemplative life and
their willingness to welcome democracy. At the same time it
examines the differences between the two men, which he uses to
create a dialogue between humanism and liberalism on the question
of how a high cultural ideal can be realized in democratic
society.
