English Professor Gives Summary, Context, and Analysis of Matthew Arnold's "Dover Beach" for ICSE

This short and simple lecture is designed around the following ICSE exam study guide questions on Matthew Arnold’s 1867 poem “Dover Beach”: “Discuss ‘Dover Beach’ as a dramatic monologue. How does it bring out the loss of faith in the modern world? Discuss the shift in mood in the poem.” In the lecture, Dr. Kosters provides a short summary of the poem, crucial context one must know in order to fully understand and appreciate “Dover Beach,” and a full analysis on how the poem’s transitory nature and themes of duality reflect the speaker’s change in mood and disillusioned state. #ICSE #ISC #MatthewArnold #DoverBeach #poetry #Victorian #Victorianpoetry #poem #analysis #context #help #literature #examhelp #subtitles #subtitle #education #educate #Britishliterature #dramaticmonologue #ageoftransition #English #lecture #help #darwin #originofspecies #nineteenthcenturyliterature
