- Title
Truncating Coleridgean Conversation and the Re-visioning of "Dover Beach.".
- Authors
Caldwell, Lauren
- Abstract
A literary criticism of poet Matthew Arnold's "Dover Beach" is presented. The idea of disinterestedness as it relates to Arnold's view of Victorian science is examined. Also, the author states that society's scientific progress may be the cause of its own destruction. Also looked at is Arnold's relationship with poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge. Arnold's attempt to reclaim Romantic notions in a post-Romantic world and his establishment of a language that relates to life through reinvention is given.
