Examines the critical reputation of one of the great literary critics.From the publication of The Strayed Reveller and Other Poems in 1849, Matthew Arnold has been a figure of controversy who sparked decidedly strong and divergent opinions -- both about the quality of his artistry and about the ideas he espoused.

There emerges an appreciation for the key questions that have captured the attention of Arnold's critics for over a hundred Was Arnold a first-rate poet, or does he rank below the greatest figures of his century, notably Tennyson and Browning?
