Culture and Anarchy by Matthew Arnold is a critical essay exploring the role of culture in Victorian society. Arnold argues for a balance between the chaotic pursuit of individualism (anarchy) and the refinement of the human spirit through cultural engagement. He introduces key concepts like 'sweetness and light' and critiques the narrow-mindedness of class divisions. The work remains influential in educational and cultural discourse, defending the civilizing power of the arts and intellect.
