Paper Summary:

An analysis of Matthew Arnold's poem " Dover Beach". The author discusses the writer's use of symbolism and the effectiveness of the writer's style of alluding to other works.

From the paper:

"Matthew Arnold's "Dover Beach" (Arnold 397) is a thirty-seven line, five-stanza poem first published in 1867. In "Dover Beach" the speaker looks out over the cliffs of Dover and laments about the sadness of humanity and humanity's loss of faith. I believe "Dover Beach" is a poem that uses allusion extensively and heavily draws on other works to fully explain the loss of faith that the speaker sees in the world."
