Of Poets and of Rivers: Five Letters of Matthew Arnold to George Stovin Venables
View through CrossRef
Among the surviving papers of the indefatigable journalist, parliamentary barrister, and Cambridge “Apostle” George Stovin Venables (1810–88) recently deposited at the National Library of Wales are five delightful letters to Venables from Matthew Arnold – two written in 1879 and 1880 and three during the last full year of his life in 1887. The first two, being concerned with Arnold's 1879 book of selections from Wordsworth and with Venables' review of it in the Saturday Review, give us Arnold's reaction to published criticisms of his Wordsworth book and its well-known introductory essay. The three 1887 letters anticipate a visit by Arnold to the Venables family seat, Llysdinam, at Newbridge-on-Wye, in Radnorshire, Wales, hoping to include fishing in the river.
