Books by Antony H. Harrison

The career of Matthew Arnold as an eminent poet and the preeminent critic of his generation constitutes a remarkable historical spectacle orchestrated by a host of powerful Victorian cultural institutions. This book investigates these constructions by situating Arnold's poetry in a number of contexts that partially shaped it.
