Letters To A Friend (1881)

Letters To A Friend is a collection of personal letters written by the British historian and bishop Connop Thirlwall to his friend, the scholar and poet Matthew Arnold. The letters were originally written between 1841 and 1869 and were published posthumously in 1881. The correspondence covers a wide range of topics, including politics, literature, religion, and personal matters. Thirlwall and Arnold discuss their views on the major issues of their time, including the Reform Bill, the Oxford Movement, and the rise of scientific materialism. They also share their thoughts on the works of Shakespeare, Wordsworth, and other literary figures. The letters provide a fascinating insight into the intellectual and cultural life of Victorian England, as well as the personal friendship between two of its most prominent figures.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
