About This Item
Cambridge At the University Press. Very Good. 1946. Hardcover. Tan hardcovers with black titles to the spine, soiling to the covers with some spine and corner wear. The binding is tight and there is pencil underlining through the book, sparse. "'One has often wondered whether upon the whole earth there is anything so unintelligent, so unapt to perceive how the world is really going, as an ordinary young Englishman of our upper class.' Poet, education reformer, social theorist and passionate critic of Victorian England, Matthew Arnold condemned an industrial society in 'bondage to machinery' and argued instead that the wonder and joy of culture - in particular the 'sweetness and light' of classical civilization - were essential to human life." ; 12mo 7" - 7½" tall; 241 pages .
