EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the picturesque beauty of Matthew Arnold's former home at Fox How, nestled in the heart of the English Lake District near Ambleside, Cumbria. Built by Arnold's father Thomas Arnold at the suggestion of the renowned poet William Wordsworth in 1822, this historic residence served as the family's dwelling from 1822 until 1888. Surrounded by lush greenery and rolling hills, Fox How was not only a stunning retreat but also an inspiring environment for the literary greats who resided in the area. Neighbors to the Arnolds were none other than the influential literary figures Harriet Martineau and her family. Matthew Arnold, a Victorian-era poet, critic, and essayist, was deeply influenced by the Romantic poets, including Wordsworth. The tranquil setting of Fox How provided an ideal backdrop for Arnold's literary pursuits, as he penned some of his most celebrated works amidst the serene landscape. The rich history of this home extends beyond its literary connections. Fox How has been meticulously preserved, allowing visitors to step back in time and experience the charm and allure of a bygone era. The residence now stands as a testament to the enduring influence of the Lake District on the literary world and the lasting legacy of those who once called it home.
