Thyrsis: A Monody And The Scholar Gypsy (1910) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781162240282)

Thyrsis: A Monody And The Scholar Gypsy is a book written by Matthew Arnold and published in 1910. The book contains two poems, Thyrsis and The Scholar Gypsy. Thyrsis is a monody that Arnold wrote in memory of his friend Arthur Hugh Clough, who died in 1861. The poem is a lament for the loss of a great poet and friend, and it explores themes of grief, memory, and the transience of life. The Scholar Gypsy, on the other hand, is a narrative poem that tells the story of a scholar who leaves his studies to join a group of gypsies. The poem explores themes of freedom, adventure, and the search for meaning and purpose in life. Overall, Thyrsis: A Monody And The Scholar Gypsy is a collection of two powerful and moving poems that showcase Arnold's skill as a poet and his ability to capture the complexities of the human experience.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
