The author contends that the origins of Culture and Anarchy, and of some of the other literary essays, are to be found in these reports. A thoughtful examination of both the reports and the essays shows that the ideas presented is both have a close consanguinity; the ideas Arnold developed in his study of the schools are expanded and re-enunciated in the literary essays. His reflections are basically pragmatic, and their origins he is the problems he confronted in his work. He ornamented these practical observations with the treasures gathered from a fine classical education. The essays contain countless literary allusions which reflect upon his current thoughts his deep sense of an endless social continuum. Herein lies his literary genius. Nevertheless, it is important to know that these different aspects of Arnold's life merge — that the universe of his mind preseved its rational connections with all of the experiences he suffered or enjoyed. Viewed together, they present a fair prospect of inductive resoning — of useful knowledge applied to the selection of present problems. Professor Walcott gives a clear a succinct account of Arnold's plans for the improvement of English education, and provides an informative context for many of his letters. He delves deep into the history of popular education in England and Arnold's part in it, and in so doing gives a warm, human portrayal of Matthey Arnold and his hopes and frustrations as a superintendent.
