Albert J. Lubell has observed that¡ Arnold's shedding of Christian
.dogma [ in his early years] determined the whole course of his intellectual and spiritual development. 111 In order to understa.n.d :fully the :progression of Arnold's thought, then,. we must inquire into th,e circumstances which led him lnto skepticism. Lubell points out that Arnold'-s ..
19-ss of faith would be difficult to explain if it had been--an ts¡ol:¡ated
_phenomenon, but it wasn't. Arnold himself acknowl.edg¡ed tJ1-9t :"lJi:$
poetry represented the "main movement of mind" of th¡e nineteenth
,c~ntury, 2: a_n_d certainly th.e lass or reaffirmation of fa.tth ¡wa:s ¡_.much .i.n
.ev:fdehce: at that time: â˘. We :h¡a,ve only to consider the divisio_n. on the
subject of religious dogma. to s:e_e bow widespread were the attempts to
strengthen a declining faith. The ~11ost .obv.ious example of such conflict was the one between the Tractarians, -<JOJJ1.prised of men like
Keble, John Henry Newman, and Pusey., ¡who wi:Shed renewed emphasl$
on dogma and -a return to the first principles of ¡the. church fathers; and
on the othet¡b:and,. .m¡e¡n .like Thomas Arnold, Clough, and Matthew
Arnold hims.elf,. ¡Who, .sou.ght ¡some sort of compromise to solidify th¡e:
church.
