This selection of poems and prose is invaluable in showing the "unity in diversity" of Arnold's creative intelligence, which probed in powerful lyrics the maladies of the modern condition. These poems join here with provocative essays on education, society, and religion, including his major central work, "The Study of Poetry," to provide a unique introduction to one of the major critics of the eighteenth century.
