This document summarizes Matthew Arnold's influential 1869 essay "Culture and Anarchy". It discusses how Arnold analyzed Victorian society, dividing people into aristocrats, barbarians, philistines, and the populace. If people "do as they like" without sufficient light or perfection, it could lead to anarchy in society. Both in Victorian times and today, masses can be uncontrolled and unrestrained from public duty. To control anarchy, one needs authority and to study perfection to find our best self and bring harmony to society.
