Welcome to 'Poetry' course ! • This lecture focuses on the poetry of Matthew Arnold, a Victorian poet and critic known for his melancholic tone, his exploration of the anxieties of modern life, and his influential literary criticism. It discusses his historical and literary context, highlighting his role as a social and cultural critic and his articulation of the Victorian crisis of faith. The lecture analyzes Arnold's famous poem Dover Beach, exploring its themes of faith and doubt, the loss of traditional certainties, the isolation of the modern individual, and the search for meaning in a world seemingly devoid of religious consolation.
