Dover, Kent. South England. UK TRAVEL VIDEO
Dover is a town and major ferry port in the home county of Kent, in South East England. It faces France across the strait of Dover, the narrowest part of the English Channel, and lies south-east of Canterbury; east of Kent's county town Maidstone; and north-east along the coastline from Dungeness and Hastings. The town is the administrative centre of the Dover District and home of the Dover Calais ferry through the Port of Dover. The surrounding chalk cliffs are known as the White Cliffs of Dover.
Its strategic position has been evident throughout its history: archaeological finds have revealed that the area has always been a focus for peoples entering and leaving Britain. The name of the town derives from the name of the river that flows through it, the River Dour. The town has been inhabited since the Stone Age according to archaeological finds, and Dover is one of only a few places in Britain – London, Edinburgh, and Cornwall being other examples – to have a corresponding name in the French language, Douvres.

Dover Beach Summary By Matthew Arnold
Hello Everyone and Welcome to this Summary of Dover Beach Summary By Matthew Arnold, Presented to you by Beaming Notes.
Voice-Over and Narration : Anushree Sen
*********************************************************************
Summary:
Stanza 1-
The poem begins with a serene description of the sea by the speaker who stood on the coast to enjoy the captivating beauty of the sea. A mood of sensory awareness is created as the landscape composed of the tranquil sea, moonlight and the strait gives a picture that is constituted of balance, stability, and harmony. The strait refers to the Strait of Dover between the English Channel and the North sea. The light that ‘gleams and is gone’ in the literal sense, brings into picture a light that’s flickering on the French coast. Metaphorically, however, the light is regarded as the fluctuating faith in God and religion. The Weighty Rallentando with which a series of affirmations occur in the first sentence, however, signifies that God’s dignity cannot be destroyed by the loss of faith. Moonlight creates a sense of melancholy, meditation, and despair. The natural scene is amalgamated with a sense of spiritual security established by the words calm, full, fair and tranquil. The cliffs of England, composed of an eroding limestone, chalk, makes it look bright and huge. The concept of eroding furthers the theme of the weakening of faith of human beings.
The speaker calls his companion to join him in experiencing the delight that nature is. It is a tender appeal to pause and participate as Arnold seeks companionship. The poet could anticipate the shift in human ideology from the Christian tradition to the impersonal world of Darwin and other scientists
A beautiful image is evoked as the beach drenched with water drops and blanched with the bright moonlight makes the sand look white. The jarring roar of the pebbles caused by the ebb and flow of the sea creates a striking contrast to the pleasant atmosphere described in the first few lines. It produces a depressing, tragic and undulating appeal. The continuous and endless movements of the waves bring in a deep sense of melancholy- an “eternal note of sadness” in human life.
Stanza 2- It is an allusion to the famous tragic poet Sophocles. The despondent and monotonous sound of the waves reminds him of the despair with which Sophocles observed the misery and suffering of human beings in life as he heard the melancholic sound of the waves of the Aegean Sea. The poet too finds himself deeply affected by the tragic aspect of the sea and of human fate. Nobody is free from the eternal sufferings that human beings find themselves in. The disordered rise and fall of human misery is symbolic to the ebb and flow of the sea waves. The sea is an archetypal image invested with the sentiment of divine dignity.
The Sea of Faith
Was once, too, at the full, and round earth’s shore
Lay like the folds of a bright girdle furled.
But now I only hear
Its melancholy, long, withdrawing roar,
Retreating, to the breath
Of the night-wind, down the vast edges drear
And naked shingles of the world.

Matthew Arnold (24 December 1822 -- 15 April 1888) was a British poet and cultural critic who worked as an inspector of schools. He was the son of Thomas Arnold, the famed headmaster of Rugby School, and brother to both Tom Arnold, literary professor, and William Delafield Arnold, novelist and colonial administrator. Matthew Arnold has been characterized as a sage writer, a type of writer who chastises and instructs the reader on contemporary social issues.[1]
Dover Beach is a short lyric poem by the English poet Matthew Arnold.[1] It was first published in 1867 in the collection New Poems, but surviving notes indicate its composition may have begun as early as 1849. The most likely date is 1851.[2]
The title, locale and subject of the poem's descriptive opening lines is the shore of the English ferry port of Dover, Kent, facing Calais, France, at the Strait of Dover, the narrowest part (21 miles) of the English Channel, where Arnold honeymooned in 1851.[2

Dover Beach Analysis by Matthew Arnold
Hello Everyone and Welcome to this Critical Analysis ofDover Beach Analysis by Matthew Arnold, Presented to you by Beaming Notes.
Voice-Over and Narration : Anushree Sen
*********************************************************************
Analysis:
Dover Beach is undoubtedly the most representative of Arnold’s poems. In the poem, Arnold laments the decline in faith in God and religion, brought about by the unprecedented growth in science and commerce, giving rise to questions and doubts in the society. The time when Arnold was writing this poem, England was torn between science and religion, materialism and morals and doubts and beliefs. It was an age that was known as the age of reforms in not only industries and religions but also in politics and society. Darwin and other scientists with their scientific discoveries had made the Victorians question and challenge the existing religious beliefs. Arnold’s preoccupation with the significance of a world rich in morals and ethics and the despair that arises from the loss of faith is clearly evident in this poem.
Although the poem begins with a descriptive image of the harmonious sea, the main theme of the poem is not to romanticize Nature but to reveal the pain, despair and suffering in the world caused by the lack of religious and spiritual faith. Arnold anticipates the absolute collapse of moral values and harmony in the society. The “moon blanch’d sand” creates a note of melancholy and gloom in the poem. Arnold realizes that even though “The sea is calm tonight”, its calmness will soon be replaced by violence and discordance. The faith in God and religion is ebbing away like the waves are ebbing away from the shore.
The various sounds expressed by the auditory images in the poem are to some extent suggestive of the screaming of people seeking help to find a way to escape from the chaotic, treacherous world. In this poem, Arnold reveals the malady and struggles of the people. Lack of religious faith has given rise to all sorts of distrust, perverted morality, purposelessness and vague relationships. In Arnold’s view, the society is deceptive and cannot be trusted. The cultural and moral decomposition of the society brings the “eternal note of sadness” in the lives of people that have become so shallow that the only refuge a man can take is in the love of his beloved
