Excerpt from Dictionary of National Biography, Vol. 1: Second Supplement; Abbey Eyre Oriental knowledge proved of vital in uence on his editorial work, and as a champion of Turkey through the russo-turkish war and of Lord Lytten's forward policy in India he helped to mould public opinion. He was made c.s.i. When Queen Victoria was proclaimed Empress of India on 1 Jan. 1877. In 1879 he published the epic poem The Light of Asia, ' to which he owed most of his fame. In blank verse, of Oriental luxuriance, in which colour and music were blended in the Tennysonian manner with heightened effects, Arnold here presented the picturesque and pathetic elements of the Buddhist legend and the life of Gautama. The moral doctrines were those to which Europeans had been accustomed all their lives, but the setting was new to English and American readers. The poem aroused the animosities of many pulpits, but there were sixty editions in England and eighty in America, and translations were numerous. A sequel appeared in 1891 as The Light of the World, ' and proved a signal failure. After twenty-eight successful years in the editorial room, where his staff of writers included Edward Dicey, James Macdonell, H. D. Trail], and others, Arnold, who was made in 1888, became a travel ling commissioner oi the paper. In August 1889 he started with his daughter, Katharine Lilian, upon a long ramble chie y devoted to the Pacific coast and Japan. As a picturesque tourist in books like India Revisited Seas and Lands 'wandering Words' and East and West (1896) (studies of Egypt, India, and Japan), he has had few rivals. His first visit to Japan was often repeated, and he was fascinated by the artistic and social side of Japanese life. His writings on Japan helped to spread in England optimistic views of Japanese progress and culture. In 1891 he undertook a reading tour in America, and he received numerous foreign decorations from Turkey, Persia, Siam, and Japan.
