Topic: Sir Edwin Arnold


  
  Sir Edwin Arnold - LoveToKnow 1911
SIR EDWIN ARNOLD (1832-1904), British poet and journalist, was born on the 10th of June 1832, and was educated at the King's school, Rochester; King's College, London; and University College, Oxford, where in 1852 he gained the Newdi gate prize for a poem on Belshazzar's feast.
Arnold must also be credited with the first idea of a great trunk line traversing the entire African continent, for in 1874 he first employed the phrase "a Cape to Cairo railway" subsequently popularized by Cecil Rhodes.
The latter criticism probably suggested to Arnold the idea of attempting a second narrative poem of which the central figure should be the founder of Christianity, as the founder of Buddhism had been that of the first.

 Benedict Arnold - LoveToKnow 1911
Arnold's brilliant exploits had drawn attention to him as one of the most promising of the Continental officers, and had won for him the friendship of Washington.
Arnold at once demanded an investigation, and in March a committee of Congress made a report exonerating him; but Reed obtained a reconsideration, and in April 1779 Congress, though throwing out four charges, referred the other four to a court-martial.
Arnold, commissioned a brigadier-general in the British army, received £6315 in compensation for his property losses, and was employed in leading an expedition into Virginia which burned Richmond, and in an attack upon New London (q.v) in September 1781.

The latter criticism probably suggested to Arnold the idea of attempting a second narrative poem of which the central figure should be Jesus, the founder of Christianity, as the founder of Buddhism had been that of the first.

 ARNOLD, MATTHEW (1822-... - Online Information article about ARNOLD, MATTHEW (1822-...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Notwithstanding the exquisite work that Arnold has left behind him, some critics have come to the conclusion that his primary impulse in expression was that of the poetically-minded prosateur rather than that of the born poet.
Perhaps, indeed, the place Arnold held and still holds as a critic is due more to his exquisite felicity in expressing his views than to the penetration of his criticism.
The first collected edition of Arnold's poems was published in 1869 in two volumes, the first consisting of Narrative and Elegiac Poems, and the second of Dramatic and Lyric Poems.

 Edwin Lester Linden Arnold - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edwin Lester Linden Arnold (1857-1935) was an English author.
Arnold was born in Swanscombe, Kent, England as son of Sir Edwin Arnold.
Arnold's Lieutenant Gullivar Jones: His Vacation is considered important to 20th century science fiction literature, in that it may have inspired the Edgar Rice Burroughs Barsoom series, which was written six years later.

 The SF Site Featured Review: Gullivar of Mars
Edwin L. Arnold Son of Sir Edwin Arnold (1832-1904), the famous orientalist, journalist (chief editor of the London Daily Telegraph), and author of the long narrative epic The Light of Asia (1879), Edwin Lester Linden Arnold (1875-March 1, 1935) was born in Swanscombe, Kent, England and spent most of his childhood in India.
Arnold followed his Phra success with similar stories, the novelette Rutherford the Twice-Born [The Idler, 1892; collected in The Story of Ulla (1895)], and the somewhat tongue-in-cheek Lepidus the Centurion: A Roman of Today (1901) [reprint Arno Press, 1978], which flopped.
Likewise, Arnold owes a significant debt to H.G. Wells, as the beautiful yet slothful Hither Folk and the barbaric yet industrious Thither Folk are clearly cut from the same mould as the Eloi and Morlocks from The Time Machine.

 ERBzine 1124: Edwin L. Arnold's Phra the Phoenician
While Arnold admittedly produced a much smaller number of stories, for a much smaller readership, his failure to reach the semi-celebrity status of ERB probably can be traced more to his lackluster writing style than to his limited textual output.
Arnold is not so bad in coming up with interesting ideas as he is in using them to motivate his characters into interesting activities.
Does Arnold write in "a style reminiscent of Haggard's worst?" A possible answer to that question, is that Haggard's worst pretty much parallels most of Arnold's prose, but Phra now and then does manage to rise to about the level of Haggard's run-of-the-mill (and Burroughs' pot-boiler) grade of story-telling.
