Notes and references

Notes

  1. "Haworth Churchyard first appeared in Fraser's Magazine for May 1855, signed "A." It was not taken into Arnold's collected poems till 1877. The two "gifted women" whose meeting the poet celebrates were Charlotte Brontë and Harriet Martineau. The "too bold dying song" was the last of Emily Brontë's poems, to be found in Poems by Currer Ellis and Acton Bell, which, published in a little volume in 1846, are current in the works of the sisters. The allusion to the brother, Patrick Branwell Brontë, as "not the least gifted" of his race, is significant."[15]
  2. Arnold reserved much space in this volume for the criticism of the recently published translation of the Iliad by Francis W. NewmanCardinal Newman's younger brother. Newman took offence at Arnold's public criticism of his translation, and published a reply, Homeric Translation in Theory and Practice. To this Arnold in turn responded, with a last lecture, given at Oxford on 30 November 1861, afterwards separately published in March 1862 under the title On Translating Homer: Last Words.
