This thoughtful little volume features the full range of Arnold's poetry, including "Shakespeare," "Sohrab and Rustum," "Isolation," "To Marguerite," "To Marguerite--Continued," "Dover Beach," "The Future," "Thyrsis," and "Rugby Chapel." Edited by E. K. Brown, this selection is well supported by Arnold's preface to Poems (1853), an introduction, a list of principal dates in Arnold's life, and a bibliography.

Review Summary: well versed, full of life, full of truth
Review: Matthew Arnold is one of my favourite poets and I think that this collection showcases some of his best work. The poems are mostly his older and longer works, so I wouldn't recommend this for someone who likes short poems; some in here are pages long! I was disappointed by the fact that "A Question: To Fausta" wasn't printed in this volume, though.
