Edited by his widow, this volume opens with a memoir of Clough’s life and then follows him through his own letters: a schoolboy under Thomas Arnold at Rugby, a troubled fellow of Oriel, a visitor to Emerson’s America, and an examiner in London. Essays and lectures, including one on Wordsworth’s poetry, complete it.
Essential reading for anyone interested in Clough, Matthew Arnold’s circle, or Victorian doubt. Download the free EPUB.
