Writing to Cardinal Newman in 1872, Arnold said that there are four people, 'in especial', from whom he had learned habits: Goethe, Wordsworth, Saint-Beuve, and Newman himself. His notebooks and reading lists confirm a deep and lifelong engagement with Goethe's work, which was just beginning to be discovered by early Victorian English writers.
