Poetical Works of Matthew Arnold
This is the first complete edition of Matthew Arnold's poetry, published by Macmillan in 1890, two years after his death, with the poems grouped by kind. The early poems and sonnets come first, followed by narrative poems such as Sohrab and Rustum, Balder Dead, Tristram and Iseult and The Forsaken Merman, the lyric poems that include Dover Beach, and the elegiac poems: The Scholar-Gipsy, Thyrsis, Rugby Chapel and the stanzas on Obermann. The dramatic poems Merope and Empedocles on Etna and the later poems close the volume. Throughout, Arnold writes of faith withdrawing, of isolation and of the search for calm in a restless age. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first poems are free.
