"Sohrab and Rustum and Other Poems" by Matthew Arnold is a collection of narrative and lyrical poetry compiled in the early 20th century. The featured poem, "Sohrab and Rustum," tells the tragic story of a hero and his estranged father, encapsulating themes of fate, identity, and the anguish of familial bonds in a world of conflict. Arnold presents a poetic canvas that blends classical narrative style with deep emotional resonance. At the start of this collection, the introduction outlines Arnold's background and his distinguished career as both a poet and critic. The opening portion of the narrative poem "Sohrab and Rustum" introduces Sohrab, a young Tartar warrior, as he awakens in his tent and prepares for battle. Haunted by thoughts of finding his father Rustum, a famed Persian warrior whom he has never met, Sohrab seeks either to confront him or win glory for himself on the battlefield. The narrative sets a somber tone, foreshadowing the tragic confrontation that is to ensue as both father and son unknowingly move towards a fateful clash.
