Excerpt from Selections From the Prose Works of Matthew Arnold Edited With Introduction and Notes
This book Of selections aims to furnish examples of Arnold's prose in all the fields in which it characteristically employed itself except that of religion. It has seemed bet ter to omit all such material than to attempt inclusion of a few extracts which could hardly give any adequate no tion of Arnold's work in this department. Something, however, of his method in religious criticism can be dis cerned by a perusal of the chapter on Hebraism and Hel lenism, selected from Culture and Anarchy. Most of Arnold's leading ideas are represented in this volume, but the decision to use entire essays so far as feasible has naturally precluded the possibility Of gathering all the im portant utterances together. The basis Of division and grouping Of the selections is made sufficiently Obvious by the headings. In the division of literary criticism the em deavor has been to illustrate Arnold's cosmopolitanisrn by essays Of first-rate importance dealing with the four liter atures with which he was well acquainted. In the notes, conciseness with a reasonable degree of thoroughness has been the principle followed.

"Arnold and Ruskin were of their own times, but they have a deep moral message useful to us now. They show that the light of morality was lit even as capitalist industrialiization and totalitarian socialism were growing in tandem, both directed by bankers, to distort ethics into that which serves power. Ruskin and Arnold were about the ethics of Spiritual Humanism, which will never die."
