Excerpt from Thomas and Matthew Arnold: And Their Influence on English Education
IN the Catalogue of the British Museum Library, there are no less than eighty-nine entries under the name of Matthew Arnold, and sixty-seven under that of his father. These entries include references to each of the several editions of their published works, whether books or pamphlets, and also to numerous tracts and essays containing criticism or comment upon those works. They do not, however, include the large number of reviews and articles which occur in the periodicals and dictionaries of the time, and which throw light on the character and achievements of the Arnolds. Of the abundant literature with which their names have thus come to be associated, much is occupied with ephemeral controversy, and with incidents little likely to interest the coming generation of readers or indeed to be wholly intelligible to them. It has seemed to me, therefore, that as both men have exerted a large share of in?uence in forming the opinion of the country on educational questions, and as their lives possess peculiar interest for those who are teachers by profession, there was room for a small volume which, without professing to furnish a new biography, or a new theory respecting.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This fascinating volume explores the philosophies and life stories of educational reformers Thomas Arnold of Rugby and his son Matthew, a renowned poet and literary critic, and traces their enduring impact on English education. Deeply rooted in the intellectual and religious movements of their time, both Arnolds were strong advocates for a classical education steeped in history, poetry, and rigorous study of language. They contended that such an education fostered not only intellectual prowess but also moral character. Rich in detail and insightful analysis, this book provides a unique window into the minds and methods of these influential figures, whose ideas continue to shape educational practices and inspire educators today. Through their commitment to holistic education, the Arnolds left an indelible mark on the legacy of English public schools, underscoring the enduring value of a curriculum that emphasizes the classics, critical thinking, and the pursuit of virtue.
