Arnold is among the most inaccessible of 19th-century poets, a fact
of which he himself was well aware. Asking a great deal of his
readers, he expected them to share his remote excitements and to
follow his complicated intellectual processes. This study of
Arnold's major poetic ideas defines their philosophical backgrounds
through close and sustained reading of many individual poems.
Professor Stange finds that Arnold organized his examination of
life around these central ideas: poetry, nature, self, and love. He
also considers Arnold's work in relation to the philosophical and
literary events and traditions of the continent, particularly
Goethe's lyrics and classical humanism. Originally published in
1967. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand
technology to again make available previously out-of-print books
from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
These editions preserve the original texts of these important books
while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions.
The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase
access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of
books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in
1905.
