"Eclectic Magazine of Foreign Literature, Science, and Art, April 1885" by Various is a collection of literary essays and critiques written during the late 19th century. This volume features diverse topics across literature, science, art, and political commentary, showcasing prominent voices of the period, including Matthew Arnold. The content reflects a thoughtful examination of societal issues, American institutions, and philosophical discussions regarding democracy. The opening of this volume presents a piece by Matthew Arnold titled "A Word More About America," where he reflects on his experiences and observations from a visit to the United States. He discusses his initial expectations of American society, emphasizing the middle class's prominence and the absence of traditional aristocracy and a significant lower class. Arnold critiques his preconceived notions based on earlier readings and generations of thought, particularly relating to democracy and political structures, expressing a newfound respect for American institutions as he navigates his complex feelings about class, governance, and societal identity. Through this reflective discourse, he sets the stage for a broader exploration of American life and its implications for English society and thought. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
