what is the melanc holy view of life expressed by arnold in dover beach ?​

Answer 1

Explanation:

Dover Beach", written by Matthew Arnold, a famous elegiac poet, critic, and educationalist of the Victorian era, was published in 1867 when the countryEngland was torn between science and religion, between Romanticism and Classicism, between materialism and spiritualism. This poem us a vehement picture of the poet's melancholic view of life as well as the representation of Victorian loss of faith as a consequence of the rapid growth of science and commerce with the publication of Darwin's "The Origin of Species" in 1859.

An elegy is a poem of mourning or a song of lamentation. And Arnold is a poet of melancholy and in this respect he is definitely different from his great contemporaries, like Tennyson, Browning. His well - known poems like "The Scholar Gipsy", "Rugby Chapel", "Thyrsis" bear thoroughly his melancholic and elegiac tone.
