In "Dover Beach," writer Matthew Arnold expounds on the impact science has had on religion. Not sometime before the ballad's production, Charles Darwin distributed On the Origin of Species, in which he reported his reviews on development. Arnold's lyric is viewed as a record of the ensuing conflict amongst science and religion.
