Matthew Arnold (1822-88), the leading man-of-letters of the
Victorian age, has been the decisive influence on modern thinking
about literature and criticism and his work has become an
inescapable cultural reference point today.
In this stylish and entertaining book Stefan Collini examines the
whole range of Arnold's literary, social, and religious criticism
as well as his poetry, placing them in the context of the major
intellectual controversies of the nineteenth century. By attending
to the distinctive power of Arnold's writing to charm, tease,
persuade, and irritate, the book provides a brilliant
characterization of the tone and temper of his mind.
This edition includes a substantial Afterword which reflects on
Arnold's continuing polemical significance and his role in
contemporary cultural debate.
