Chapter 2 explicates the material environment of the Athenaeum Club, London, as Matthew Arnold would have experienced it, to show that many of his key ideas were shaped by his embodied experience there. It focuses, in particular, on his relationship to the club library in order to demonstrate his conversion to culture.
