Publisher's Synopsis

This is the first book-length study that takes Arnold's dark vision as the interpretive key to the poetry and as justification for Arnold's claim to be in the vanguard of an emergent modernity. This work shows the deep affinities betweeen Arnold's dark vision and Shopenhauer's philosophic pessimism.
