Q-2 write about one idea of Mathew Arnold which you find out of date and irrelevant in your time?
Matthew Arnold's Touchstone method is out of date and irrelevant in our present time. Because touchstone method is comparative method of study. This method is comparison ans analysis as two primary tools for judging individual poet.. It means we can not give our interpretation and judgement to other works, because we can not compare their work with other work for example If we compare two things. many other things. we can not judge both mobile with Touchstone method, because every one have a specialty as well as literature we can not give our interpretation and judgement to compare with other work, because we can not compare every one have their own interpretation and views towards their work. so the idea of Touchstone method is irrelevant in our time.
