Though epitomising the Victorian intelligensia, Matthew Arnold (1822-1888), poet, literary critic, moralist and political and educational theorist also explored the concept of modernity - especially its bleak side - in his work. Here is a wide selection of his prose.

Excerpt from On Translating HomerHere even the first inversion, have Ilium's sons thine arms Stript from Patroclus' shoulders gives the reader a sense of a movement not Homeric; and the second inversion, a God him contending ln the van Slew gives this sense ten times stronger. Instead of moving on without check, as in reading the original, the reader twice finds himself, in reading the translation, brought up and checked. Homer moves with the same simplicity and rapidity in the highly-wrought as in the simple passage.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Essays & Correspondence

"Bloomsbury Poetry Classics" are selections from the work of some of our greatest poets. The series is aimed at the general reader rather than the specialist and carries no critical or explanatory apparatus. This can be found elsewhere. In the series the poems introduce themselves, on an uncluttered page and in a format that is both attractive and convenient. The selections have been made by the distinguished poet, critic and biographer Ian Hamilton. Matthew Arnold was born in 1822, the eldest son of Thomas Arnold, the fabled headmaster of Rugby. In his early life, Arnold struggled to cope with the benign domination of his father's early death, and with the "terrible notions of duty" he felt himself to have inherited. After securing a reputation with poems like "The Scholar Gypsy", "Suhrab and Rostum" and "Dover Beach", Arnold in 1869 more or less abandoned poetry and turned his attention to the educational, critical and cultural writings which have proved so influential in this century. Arnold died in 1888.
