Matthew Arnold-was he a powerful and poetic spokesman, sensitive to the first troubled stirrings of a new society, or was he a week versifier and a self-contradictory critic with his face turned to the past? This controversy over Arnold’s reputation as a master of nineteenth-century literature has raged for years. Now, David DeLauraprovides in this new volume a collection of modern critical commentary which establishes Arnold once and for all as an essential poet who, long before Yeats or Eliot, expressed in his poetry the elements of a 'modern consciousness'-skepticism of all absolute truths, a sense of isolation and loneliness, and distaste for a society devoid of all moral values. Such distinguished contributors to this volume as T.S.Eliot, Geoffrey Tillotson, Kenneth Allott, and J. Hillis Miller offer the reader evaluations of Arnold’s literary theory as well as analyses of his artistry in prose and poetry. The essays DeLaura presents stress the centrality of religious concerns in Arnold’s work, and suggest the intellectual scope, complexity, and adequacy of his achievement
