Culture and anarchy : an essay in political and social criticism
Matthew Arnold (Author)
Attacking the notion of culture as a snobbish mark of class or education, Matthew Arnold argues in this 1869 essay for an ideal of learning and improvement independent of any goal but 'sweetness and light'. He uses this ideal to redefine 'culture', and to stress its value.
