Matthew Arnold S Sohrab And Rustum And Other Poems PDF Download

Excerpt from Matthew Arnold's Sohrab and Rustum: And Other Poems; Edited, With Introduction and Notes Matthew Arnolds' poetry is preeminently the work of a scholar and a gentleman, and, as such, has a place in the high school and in the lives of young people. The ethical teachings of his verse, with their unvarying insistence upon the supremacy of conduct and duty, are especially helpful, while the classic nature of his style and manner afford a singular charm and interest. The aim of this little volume, then, is to familiarize, in a measure, the high school student with one of the ablest poetic spirits of the last century and to add one more name to his list of poet acquaintances. The present edition attempts little in the way of criticism, the introduction and notes being intended merely to supply the needs of those students who do not have access to a well-stocked library. Suggestive questions have also been added, which are designed to aid in the appreciation and interpretation of the included poems.
