MATTHEW ARNOLD: THE CRITICAL

HERITAGE

VOLUME 2, THE POETRY

THE CRITICAL HERITAGE SERIES

General Editor: B.C.Southam

The Critical Heritage series collects together a large body of criticism on major

figures in literature. Each volume presents the contemporary responses to a

particular writer, enabling the student to follow the formation of critical attitudes

to the writer’s work and its place within a literary tradition.

The carefully selected sources range from landmark essays in the history of

criticism to fragments of contemporary opinion and little published documentary

material, such as letters and diaries.

Significant pieces of criticism from later periods are also included in order to

demonstrate fluctuations in reputation following the writer’s death.
