Corydon: An Elegy in Memory of Matthew Arnold and Oxford (1906)

Corydon: An Elegy In Memory Of Matthew Arnold And Oxford is a book written by Reginald Fanshawe in 1906. The book is a poetic elegy that mourns the loss of both Matthew Arnold, a prominent English poet and cultural critic, and the city of Oxford, where Arnold spent much of his life. The book is divided into three parts, each of which explores a different aspect of Arnold's life and legacy. The first part focuses on Arnold's role as a critic and his influence on the literary and cultural landscape of England. The second part examines Arnold's personal life and his relationships with his family and friends. The final part of the book is a meditation on the city of Oxford, which is portrayed as a symbol of Arnold's legacy and the values he represented. Throughout the book, Fanshawe uses rich and evocative language to create a vivid and moving portrait of Arnold and the world he inhabited. The book is a tribute to Arnold's enduring influence on English literature and culture, as well as a celebration of the beauty and power of poetry itself.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
