Excerpt from Select Poems of Matthew Arnold Matthew arnold was born at Laleham, on the Thames, in the county of Middlesex, December 24, r 822. He was the son of Thomas Arnold, who had begun prae tical life, as we may call it, on leaving Oxford, by taking private pupils. The father is famous now as Headmaster of Rugby, a man of most powerful and influential life in education, and in religion as well, whom his son always remembered with affection, though he followed a life or (more important) a line of thought very different from Thomas Arnold's. He was one of a large family who were closely bound together by great affection through life, so that the real view we have of Arnold's personal life is gained almost entirely from letters either to his mother, or his sisters, and, of course, to his wife. The influence of childhood amounted to much with Arnold, for, though the family soon left Laleham for Rugby (which is not a very attractive place), yet vacations were spent at Fox How in Westmoreland, of which Dr. Arnold was devotedly fond, where Matthew learned to know the Lake Country and Wordsworth - two very strong elements in forming his life and his poetry.

Excerpt from Matthew Arnold and His Poetry This is to some extent recognised by writers Of histories and text-books of literature, and by editors of selections from the works Of our poets for place is always given by them to a certain amount Of biographical material. But in the histories and text-books the biography of a given writer stands by itself, and his work has to be sought elsewhere, the student being left to make the connection for himself while even in our current editions Of selections there is little systematic attempt to link biography, step by step, with production. This brings us at once to the chief purpose of the present series. In this, biography and production will be considered together and in intimate association. In other words, an endeavour will be made to interest the reader in the lives and personalities of the poets dealt with, and at the same time to use biography as an introduction and key to their writings.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
Excerpt from Selected Poems of Matthew Arnold In making this collection, which is intended primarily for school use, we have tried to keep three things in view. The poems chosen should exhibit Matthew Arnold's special qualities: they should not, in subject or in treatment, be such as the young could not appreciate; and they should give pupils something to think about in connexion with other poetry and other subjects of study. Poems like Mycerinus and Stanzas from the Grande Chartreuse, fine as they are, hardly answer the second test. The short lyrics, as is natural with poems of that type, are noteworthy rather for beauty of expression than for substance. Sohrab and Rustum and Balder Dead, the first poems in our selection, being avowedly modelled on Homer, we have thought it useful to quote in illustration a few passages of which the imitation is specially close. These are taken mainly from the Iliad, and for the translations we have relied on the prose version published by Messrs. Lang, Leaf & Myers. Balder Dead has been chosen largely because it gives a good sketch of the Norse mythology as a whole, though, as is pointed out in the Introduction, it is imbued with a different feeling.
