Culture and Anarchy: An Essay in Political and Social Criticism (Including the Biography of the Author)e-artnow, 17.10.2018 - 302 Seiten "Culture and Anarchy" is Arnold's most famous piece of writing on culture which established his High Victorian cultural agenda and remained dominant in debate from the 1860s until the 1950s.

The book contains most of the terms–culture, sweetness and light, Barbarian, Philistine, Hebraism, and many others–which are more associated with Arnold's work influence. |
