Description
George Saintsbury's Matthew Arnold, published by Blackwood in Edinburgh and London in 1902 in a third impression, belongs to a series on modern English writers. Companion volumes cover Stevenson, Ruskin, Tennyson, Huxley, Thackeray, George Eliot, Browning, Froude, and Dickens, each by a noted critic. Saintsbury, professor of rhetoric and English literature at Edinburgh, writes with authority and ease.
His preface notes Arnold disliked the idea of a regular biography, and that the only official sources for his life are the letters published by his family under G. W. E. Russell. The book therefore judges the poet and critic more than it narrates a life. Readers will find a classic early study of Arnold's poetry and prose.
