章節(jié)摘錄

　　Arnold's concept of culture includes the political， the social and the religious aspects of life. In fact， he was advocat-ing that culture， not class struggle， or violent revolution，should be the most effective way to cure the ills of a sick society. He thought that the future of England belonged to the middle classes. But unfortunately they were narrow minded and corrupted by materialism and therefore the world was in fact dominated by a group of people who were not qualified enough to play a leading role in the development of society. He criticized them sharply， calling them the "Philistines." He desired to awake these people， making them aware of the importance of improving themselves culturally.　　In Essays in Criticism （1865 and 1888） Arnold expressed his understanding of the social function of an artist in the Victorian Age. To him， literary criticism means a great deal more than simple book-reviewing. Good criticism is "a disinterested endeavor to learn and propagate the best that is known and thought in the world， and thus to establish a current of fresh and true ideas. " So critics have the responsibility to help people "see the object as in itself it really is." Thus， the scope of criticism extends beyond literature; criticism has a social function to foster the sublime spirit of the age.　　Arnold wrote prose as gracefully as he wrote poetry. He had a talent to invent memorable phrases to add attraction to his thought. He was eager to change the world as a social reformer yet he never failed to provide delight to his reader when he explained the thought.　　……
