Opening the book…
- 2.7: Matthew Arnold Biography
- In his poetry, Arnold worked through both private and public preoccupations, particularly with the desire for genuine communication and relationships, uncertainty over authentic identity, and despair in the face of a Crisis of Faith. He ultimately moved away from his own poetry, which he saw as lacking in system and too emotional and subjective. As he reached middle age, Arnold turned exclusively to prose. He advocated for an educated public, well-versed in the classics, and open to culture.
