Victorian Criticism: Matthew Arnold
Complied by Mohamed Zayed
The Victorian Age was an age of skepticism and the loss of religion as a result of scientific and industrial revolution. Matthew Arnold is considered the father of modern English criticism.
Arnold and “The Function of Criticism”:
He is famous for his essay “The Function of Criticism”. That essay seeks to redefine the main responsibilities of criticism. In it, Arnold believes that creative power—the power to criticize—is the highest function of man. Arnold believes that a literary work doesn’t revolve around analysis and discovery but around creativity and proper explanation of such creativity “synthesis and exposition”. A literary work must be inspired by certain conditions and spiritual atmosphere. The aim or the function of a literary work is to express these ideas in an effective and attractive combination in a beautiful form. Hence, the function of criticism is to establish an order of ideas and to make the best ideas get control. It is through literary criticism that we can see the object or the work as it really is. Arnold wishes to apply scientific methods and reason to literary criticism.
Summary of Old English Literature
Old English literature
The Old English language, also called Anglo-Saxon, was the earliest form of English. It is difficult to give exact dates for the rise and development of a language, because it does not change suddenly; but perhaps it is true to say that Old English was spoken from about A.D. 600 to about 1100. The greatest Old English poem is Beowulf, which belongs to the seventh century.

Neo-Classicism refers to a broad tendency in literature and art enduring from the early seventeenth century until around 1750. While the nature of this tendency inevitably varied accross different cultures, it was usually marked by a number of common concerns and characteristics. Most fundamentally, neo-Classicism comprised a return to the classical models, literary styles and values of ancient Greek and Roman authors. In this, the neo-Classicists were to some extent heirs of the Renaissance humanists.

Richard Bean's England People Very Nice: Critical Thinking Questions & AnswersCompiled and Prepared by Mohamed Zayed, MA, Linguist and Legal Translator
1) Discuss the theme of multiculturalism in Richard Bean’s England
People Very Nice.
OR
Discuss how Richard Bean tackled the theme of immigration and multiculturalism
in the four acts of England People Very Nice, especially how he deals
with Muslims.
The
Answer
First of
all, multiculturalism refers to the
multiplicity of nationalities in one single place and the fragmented depiction
of the different ethnical groups. It can be explained as a representation of
the separate yet parallel existence of the immigrants on the one hand and the
native people on the other hand. The theme of multiculturalism is closely
related to the theme of immigration since there would be no multiculturalism without
immigration.
