Drawing on selected Victorian verse, this lecture probes the cultural skirmishes between traditional Christian faith and modern skepticism in nineteenth-century Britain. We will explore the "withdrawing roar" of faith in Matthew Arnold's "Dover Beach" and the cosmic pessimism of Thomas Hardy's "God Forgotten," juxtaposed with the optimistic nature-mysticism of Elizabeth Barrett Browning. From John Henry Newman's self-forgetting humility to the "dappled" insights of Gerard Manley Hopkins and God's dogged pursuit in Francis Thompson's "The Hound of Heaven," we will evaluate as well as ponder how these poets navigated an era of faith, doubt, and the in-between.
