Culture and Anarchy

Author: Matthew Arnold

This is the complete edition, which includes the 40-page Editor ’ s Introduction. How does anarchy take hold in a culture and what can be done to stop it?

This well-known study is essential reading for those interested in how to create a harmonious growth of all facets of culture, which has become a challenge in modern times. Arnold promotes what he calls an “organic” society—one that evolves slowly, grows into maturity, and avoids making great leaps into new forms of change that could create trouble. There have always been those who wish to stir up unrest. If society can remain strong from its foundation, then anarchy will develop no foothold. Arnold provides a clear contrast between culture and unrest, and what may be needed to keep us going safely into the future, despite the increasing complexities in the world today.
