![]() ![]() In so doing, the study focuses upon two different orders of space: the Arnoldian metaphorical binary of centre and periphery and the physical descriptions of the spaces of the two French schools examined in the opening section of A French Eton. ![]() It shows how these passages feed into ideas of space and time in Arnold’s cultural works, especially Culture and Anarchy (1869), and his idea(l)s of how systems and individuals can and should function towards mutual self-realisation, the benefits of which constitute much of what Arnold calls culture. The article provides a close linguistic reading of the passages in A French Eton in which Arnold visits and describes the school of Sorèze, and its principal, the French theologian and liberal thinker/activist Jean- Baptiste Henri-Dominique Lacordaire.
