Autorenporträt
Matthew Arnold (1822-1888) was a distinguished Victorian poet, cultural critic, and an inspector of schools, often remembered for both his profound influence on 19th-century English letters and his incisive societal critiques. Born into an intellectual family-his father was the celebrated headmaster of Rugby School-Arnold's upbringing was steeped in literary and scholarly pursuits. His works, exemplified by 'Culture and Anarchy' and 'Dover Beach', reflect a deep engagement with the cultural turmoil and spiritual malaise of his time. In 'Celtic Literature', Arnold explores the characteristics and contributions of Celtic art and literature, arguing their significant influence on the European literary tradition. His scholarly approach to literary criticism and his quest for intellectual rigor translated into pioneering essays and lectures that challenged Victorian notions of culture and education. With a style underpinned by a graceful blend of rhetoric and critical scrutiny, Arnold's legacy endures not only through his poetry but also his profound intellectual inquiries into literature, society, and the human condition.
