This volume in the 21st Century Oxford Authors series offers
students an authoritative, comprehensive selection of the poetry
and prose of Matthew Arnold (1822-1888)-the first of its kind for
half a century. The anthology is a fresh presentation of one of the
most important and influential writers and thinkers of the
Victorian period. Arnold's many facets-as poet, educationalist,
literary critic, cultural commentator, and religious
controversialist-are represented; and the text is fully annotated,
identifying the many authors with whom Arnold engaged, and the
contemporary public events to which his work often responds. Many
of the themes of Arnold's writing life are still pressing matters
today. What is the true nature of education? What are the duties of
the State towards its citizens? What are the proper limits to
individual freedom within a liberal society? What is the future of
religion in an age of increasing secularisation? And, besides these
questions, his poetry is one of the greatest and most influential
of all bodies of Victorian verse, giving voice to the anxieties of
an epoch. Explanatory notes and commentary enhance the study,
understanding, and enjoyment of these works, and the edition
includes an Introduction to the life and works of Arnold, and a
Chronology.
