Review:
UNEDITED UK REVIEW: "Review from previous edition The combination of perception, discernment, and balanced judgement in dealing with Arnold's accomplishments and legacy make Collini's book the best brief introduction that I have read."--Jerold J. Savory, Victorian Studies
"Writing about [Arnold] in such a limited format...is no easy task. Stefan Collini has performed it brilliantly in this excellent little book....[A] very fine achievement indeed."--Sylvère Monod, Modern Language Review
"Collini has reproduced the elegance and graceful levity of the Arnoldian style here, with some additional flourishes of wit....[T]he best brief introduction to the man and his work that we are likely to have."--Chris Baldick, Times Literary Supplement
"Critical of his many limitations, yet alive to his seductive power, Stefan Collini has got Matthew Arnold's measure. Arnold would recognise himself in this brief, telling study."--Jim McCue, Country Life
