Hello readers !

 Here, I would like to write this blog as a task given by  Dr. Dilip Barad , head of the english department to write ' your understanding' on Mathew Arnold's view points on characteristics of good poetry and criticism so, here I would like to write according to my understanding. 

Mathew Arnold



 Mathew Arnold was an English poet and cultural critic, was 'the first modern critic' being a champion not only of great poetry, but of literary criticism itself. The purpose of literary criticism, in his view, was 'to know the best that is known and thought in the world.

Mathew Arnold's views on characteristics of good poetry:

"Poetry is the criticism of life, governed by the laws of poetic truth and poetic beuty"

   Arnold's views on good poetry as the superior character of truth and seriousness, in the matter and substance of the best poetry, is inseparable from the superiority of diction and movement marking its style and manner with reference his essay The Study of poetry.

   Truly calls poetry as ' the breath and finer spirit of all knowledge'; poetry'the impassioned expression which is in the countenance of all science'
 
Mathew Arnold's view points on criticism:

Arnold's insistence on the standards and his concern over the relation between poetry and life make him one of the great modern critics.

Arnold's method of criticism is comparative. Steeped in classical poetry, and thoroughly acquainted with continental literature.

Arnold's objective approach to criticism and his view that historical and biological study are unnecessary was very influential on the new criticism. His emphasis on the importance of tradition also influenced For. R. Leavis  and The. S. Eliot.

Mathew Arnold's touchstone method:

In the study of poetry, the touchstone method he also condemns the French critic Vitet. Arnold's view is that this poem  should be using knowledge that is created current and fresh and free thoughts.

In short, we can said that Mathew Arnold gives a great contribute on English literature by giving his opinion and view points on good poetry and criticism as well as Touch stonemethod.

   Nature for me is everything, because  whenever I free I would like to enjoy with nature by glance and observing of nature, because it's works for me like , how we are feeling freshness after meditation. 


   As above mention quote, I really agree with it that Look deep into nature, and then you will understand everything better. Nature gaves a unique pleasure if we look deep into nature with certain manner. 

# what is nature for writer? 

  Nature for writer is different from normal human being because of his view and perspective is totally different that leads him to write something about the wonder of nature. 

 One of the best example of poet is William Wordsworth ,  who is best known for his nature poem " Daffodils ".


# Wonder of Nature :
