Matthew Arnold Biografía y Hechos
Matthew Arnold (Laleham, Middlesex, 24 de diciembre de 1822–Liverpool, 15 de abril de 1888) fue un poeta, crítico y teólogo inglés que también trabajó como inspector escolar. Era hijo del afamado director de la Escuela de Rugby Thomas Arnold, a quien homenajeó Thomas Hughes en su novela Tom Brown's Schooldays (1857). Su hermano Tom Arnold fue el abuelo de Aldous Huxley y Julian Huxley. Vida y carrera Matthew Arnold nació en Laleham, Middlesex. Empezó sus estudios en Rugby (1837) y luego en el Balliol College de Oxford, donde ganó el Premio Newdigate con su poema Cromwell (1843); se graduó con honores de segunda clase en 1844 y se hizo fellow del Oriel College al año siguiente, en 1845. Por su alma mater conservó siempre Arnold un afecto apasionado; era el Oxford renovado espiritualmente por el círculo del futuro cardenal católico John Henry Newman, aunque su religiosidad siempre fue tan liberal como la de su padre Thomas. Más tarde (1847) fue secretario privado de lord Lansdowne, presidente del Consejo, gracias a cuyo influjo fue nombrado en 1851 inspector escolar, ingresos que necesitaba porque en ese mismo año se había casado con Frances Lucy Wightman. Mantuvo este cargo hasta dos años antes de su muerte, si bien había solicitado infructuosamente el de bibliotecario en la Cámara de los Comunes en 1867.[1] Se debía que las tareas de inspección le obligaban a mantener interminables viajes por todas las provincias británicas e incluso varias veces fue comisionado por el gobierno para investigar el estado de la educación en Francia, Alemania, Holanda y Suiza. Dos de sus informes sobre escuelas en el extranjero se reimprimieron como libros, y los anuales sobre escuelas domésticas, escritos con su habitual prosa culta y elegante, atraían la curiosidad de los burócratas. En 1849 había publicado, bajo la inicial A., su primer libro de poesía, The Strayed Reveller and Other Poems / El calavera extraviado y otros poemas, que pronto retiró del mercado; algunos de los poemas, sin embargo, incluyendo "Mycerinus / Micerino" y "The Forsaken Merman / El tritón abandonado", de asunto legendario y muy apreciado por Tennyson, se reeditaron después, y lo mismo puede decirse de su siguiente libro, también bajo el nombre de "A.", Empedocles on Etna and other poems / Empédocles en el Etna y otros poemas (1852), con "Tristram and Iseult / Tristán e Iseo". Solo en 1853 publicó una antología de esos libros con su propio nombre. El prólogo es significativo de la orientación que dio a su crítica literaria: insistía en las virtudes clásicas de la unidad, la impersonalidad, la universalidad y la construcción arquitectónica, así como en el valor de las obras maestras clásicas como modelos para "una era de incomodidad espiritual" y "carente de grandeza moral”.[2] Siguieron otras ediciones y Merope, una tragedia clásica que apareció en 1858; su última gran colección lírica fue New Poems (1867), y tras esa fecha escribió ya muy poco en el género. Basil Willey estima que una gran parte del verso de Arnold no resistía la prueba de sus propios criterios: "lejos de ser clásico, impersonal, sereno y grandioso, a menudo es íntimo, personal, lleno de arrepentimiento romántico, pesimismo sentimental y nostalgia. Como personaje público y social y como escritor en prosa, Arnold era alegre, elegante y optimista; pero por debajo marchaba la corriente de su vida subterránea":[2] Desde las profundidades soterradas del alma hasta lo alto, / como de una tierra infinitamente distante, / acuden aires y ecos flotantes, y transmiten / melancolía para todo el día. "Tengo más de treinta años", le escribió a un amigo en 1853, "y tres partes de ellos se helaron". El impulso de escribir poesía le venía siempre cuando "se dispara un rayo en algún lugar interno, / y un pulso extraviado de sentimiento se agita de nuevo". Afloran el pesar por la juventud perdida, la tentación de la frescura del mundo primitivo, los estados de autocompasión y de anhelo por "las colinas donde su vida se alzó / hacia donde el mar va". En esta línea de soliloquio o confesión íntima, a veces puede elevarse, como en "Sohrab y Rustum", a la severidad épica y a la personificación, o al monólogo dramático; a la alta meditación, como en "Dover Beach"; y a una magnificencia y riqueza sostenidas, como en "The Scholar Gipsy" y "Thyrsis", donde salva una intrincada forma métrica con éxito.[2] En 1857, asistido por el voto de su padrino (y predecesor) John Keble, Arnold fue nombrado catedrático de poesía en Oxford, un honor que le distinguió durante diez años, aunque no le reportaba mucho dinero. Debió satisfacerlo íntimamente, ya que nunca había destacado como estudiante y aún luchaba por hacerse un nombre como poeta. Dictó allí las conferencias "Sobre el elemento moderno en la literatura" (donde "moderno" significa no solo "contemporáneo", porque Grecia era "moderna", sino el espíritu que, contemplando el vasto y complejo espectáculo de la vida, ansía la liberación moral e intelectual), y las tres conferencias On Translating Homer (1861), en que recomendó la sencillez y nobleza de Homero como medicina para el mundo moderno y condenó la reciente traducción de Francis Newman como ignorante y excéntrica. Menos importancia tuvieron las publicadas como Sobre el estudio de la literatura celta (1867), donde, sin gran conocimiento sobre la materia, identificó el espíritu de su literatura con el gusto contra el despotismo de lo común y lo utilitario: Lo que nos amenaza, mucho menos que la impotencia de nuestra aristocracia o la rudeza de nuestra clase baja, es lo que yo llamo el "filisteísmo" de nuestra clase media (M. Arnold, El estudio de la literatura celta, 1867) La tarea de la crítica era, pues, "un esfuerzo desinteresado para dar a conocer y propagar lo mejor de aquello que los hombres saben y piensan en el mundo entero".[3] Denunciaba además en sus obras críticas el aldeanismo británico y reclamaba para la crítica británica un método contextual que tuviera en cuenta otras artes y culturas. Para él, el crítico literario inglés debía conocer idiomas y literaturas distintas a las suyas y estar en contacto con los estándares europeos. Esta última línea de pensamiento que desarrolla Arnold en el segundo ensayo de Influencia literaria de las academias, centrado en "la nota del provincianismo en la literatura inglesa causado por la lejanía de un "centro" de conocimiento y gusto correctos".[2] En una era de filisteísmo y credos desmoronados, la poesía tendrá que reemplazar a la religión. Cada vez más "recurriremos a la poesía para interpretar la vida para nosotros, para consolarnos, para sostenernos" y hará falta saberla distinguir bien en sus "piedras de toque". Escribió la mayor parte de su obra más conocida antes de alcanzar los cuarenta años, después de lo cual se volcó en la crítica literaria y la teología. Sus principales escritos son, en poesía, Poems (1853), que contiene "Sohrab and Rustum", un epilio persa de sabor homérico, y "The Scholar Gyps.... Descubre los libros populares de Matthew Arnold.
