Book Overview
Thyrsis: A Monody And The Scholar Gypsy is a book written by Matthew Arnold and published in 1910. It is a collection of two poems: ""Thyrsis"" and ""The Scholar Gypsy"". ""Thyrsis"" is a monody, which is a type of poem that mourns the death of a friend or loved one. The poem is about Arnold's friend Arthur Hugh Clough, who died in 1861. It is a tribute to their friendship and to Clough's life and work. ""The Scholar Gypsy"" is a narrative poem that tells the story of a young man who leaves his studies at Oxford University to become a gypsy. The poem explores the themes of education, freedom, and the search for meaning in life. Both poems are considered to be among Arnold's best works and are widely studied and admired for their beauty and depth of meaning.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
