•Although remembered now for his elegantly argued critical essays, Matthew Arnold was a Victorian-era poet. Arnold's works are divided into the following groups: Early Poems; Narrative Poems; Sonnets; Lyric and Dramatic Poems; Elegiac Poems; Later Poems; and Additional Early Poems. This book of selections aims to furnish examples of Arnold's prose in all the fields in which it characteristically employed itself except that of religion. Most of Arnold's leading ideas are represented in this volume, but the decision to use entire essays so far as feasible has naturally precluded the possibility of gathering all the important utterances together.
