Matthew Arnold left behind him a variety of literary achievements. This book begins with an examination of the Arnoldian "voice" and ends with an appraisal and a defense of some of the ways in which he has influenced modern English culture. The book seeks to reveal that it is as a social and literary critic--especially as the author of Essays in Criticism and Culture and Anarchy--that he still commands most attention today.
