Thinking Activity : Matthew Arnold

Matthew Arnold 



➢ Write about one idea of Matthew Arnold which you found interesting and relevant in our times.


 Matthew Arnold was  the Victorian poet and critic, he was 'the first modern critic' and could be called 'the critic's critic'. Arnold sometimes became a satirist, and as a satirical critic saw things too quickly, too summarily. In spite of their charm. Arnold makes clear his disapproval of the vagaries of some of the Romantic poets. 

 Matthew Arnold points out, a "disinterested endeavor to learn and propagate" the best that is known and thought in the world. And he strove hard to fulfill this aim in his critical writings. 


 Matthew Arnold's idea on  'disinterestedness' and 'detachment' is relevant in our present time. A critic should be impartial, when he passes the judgement on any of work. A critic should passes the judgement without any prejudice. 






Write about one idea of Matthew Arnold which you found out-of-date and irrelevant in our times. 

                          Matthew Arnold's 'Touchstone method is not so relevant in present time,  this method reader aware about the fallacy in judgment view of personal fallacy and historical fallacy.

                           We can't compare one literature to another literature or complex of superior or inferior. So, we can't compare Neo Classical writer and Romantic writer, because they had their own rules in their present time.
