Excerpt from Select Poems of Matthew Arnold
Matthew Arnold was born at Laleham, on the Thames, in the county of Middlesex, December 24, 1822. He was the son of Thomas Arnold, who had begun practical life, as we may call it, on leaving Oxford, by taking private pupils. The father is famous now as Headmaster of Rugby, a man of most powerful and influential life in education, and in religion as well, whom his son always remembered with affection, though he followed a life or (more important) a line of thought very different from Thomas Arnold's. He was one of a large family who were closely bound together by great affection through life, so that the rtai view we have of Arnold's personal life is gained almost entirely from letters either to his mother, or his sisters, and, of course, to his wife. The influence of childhood amounted to much with Arnold, for, though the family soon left Laleham for Rugby (which is not a very attractive place), yet vacations were spent at Fox How in Westmoreland, of which Dr. Arnold was devotedly fond, where Matthew learned to know the Lake Country and Wordsworth - two very strong elements in forming his life and his poetry.
He went to school first at Winchester, where his father had been, but remained for a year only, when he returned to Rugby. He continued there four years and in 1841 went to Oxford.

Verkäuferbewertung 5 von 5 Sternen
Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book collects the poetry of Matthew Arnold, a Victorian literary figure who found fame with his 1849 debut. Arnold led a double life, as it were. By day, he worked as an inspector of schools; by night, he was an extraordinary poet whose literary genius critiqued the social, political and religious landscape of his time. His preferred expression of that critique was through poetry, of which this book is a remarkable collection, reflecting his struggles with his faith, and his relationships. Among the themes he examines are morality, nature, and human failure. Particularly noteworthy are his poems of loss and longing such as Rugby Chapel, The Scholar Gipsy , and Dover Beach. Arnold's reflections on life and faith speak to all those searching for understanding and strength in their own lives. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 9781330582336_0
