Matthew Arnold's Sohrab and Rustum, and other poems

Description

Experience the profound poetic vision of Matthew Arnold in this essential collection, featuring the masterpiece 'Sohrab and Rustum' alongside his most significant dramatic poems. Arnold's work stands as a bridge between Romantic passion and Victorian intellect, exploring themes of cultural conflict, moral decay, and the enduring power of classical tradition in a modernizing world.\n\nSohrab and Rustum, in particular, is one of the most ambitious dramatic poems of the nineteenth century—a tragic epic that dramatizes the clash between Persian and Greek identity through the lens of the Iliad. The accompanying poems further demonstrate Arnold's mastery of blank verse and his ability to articulate the anxieties of his age. This EPUB edition allows you to carry Arnold's expansive vision anywhere, perfect for deep study or immersive reading on any device.
