• W56475552 abstract "This historical re-examination of Matthew Arnold, as both educator and literary critic, argues that while he was instrumental in launching English literature in Britain as a proper school subject, he purposively limited the extent of literature's educational value. He promoted poetry as a moral tonic for the young, while holding back from the curriculum what he had come to see as the full powers of poetry, specifically, its traffic in ideas that provided the basis of an effective criticism of life. Arnold's concern for the formation of the child's soul through literature has remained a motif in the teaching of English for both traditional programs that depend on literature to instill a sense of morality in the young and for progressive variations that would allow the children to find themselves and an empathy for others in literature. Also as part of his legacy, he initiated a double standard by which the literary critic treats education as a separate endeavour from the real life of literature. This paper returns to Arnold's life to better understand the earliest expressions of the English teacher's faith in literature and to find in his own life a form of literacy that still has something to offer to the debate over the place of literature and literacy in the teaching of English. Matthew Arnold may seem a distant figure for teachers of English, distant in time and place. Dover Beach still holds its place in the poetry anthology, but to regard that powerful poem as his major contribution to education is to forget the fact that Arnold set English teaching on its literary feet during the formative years of public education. It is also to forget that Arnold appears to have been better read in America than in England, and he most certainly drew the largest crowds he had faced in his public lectures when he visited the States in 1883 at the invitation of Andrew Carnegie (Honan 1981, pp. 399-408). By that point, Arnold had won a place in the schools for English literature in British schools on the basis of the inflated claims he willingly proffered to the government on its behalf, claims that continue to underwrite many programs in the teaching of literature. He had promised his government's Privy Council a few years before that when it came to education, good poetry does undoubtedly tend to form the soul and character; it tends to beget a love of beauty and of truth in alliance together, it suggests however indirectly noble principles of action, and it inspires the emotions so helpful in making principles operative (1908, p. 60). As it has turned out, this promise has left its Research in the Teaching of English, Vol. 24, No. 4, December 1990" @default.
