Description:... The critics in Culture and Education in Victorian England share Matthew Arnold's belief that culture and education are powerful instruments for transmitting values, but they do not always see that power as benign. They show how art, literature, the British Museum, and formal education could all be used to inculcate the values of the ruling classes. Illustrated.
