This author maligned social classes like the aristocratic “Barbarians” and middle-class “Philistines” for embracing sentimental “bathos.” This author was inspired by a fable contrasting the spider with the bee in Jonathan Swift’s The Battle of the Books to write that a concept which partially titles one book should be defined by “sweetness and light.” This author defined the first title concept as “the best which has been thought and said” in Culture and Anarchy. This author included the poem “To Marguerite – Continued” with the dramatic poem Empedocles on Etna. A poem by this author begins, “The sea is calm tonight” and declares “Ah, love, let us be true / To one another!” For 10 points, name this critic and poet who wrote about a “darkling plain… where ignorant armies clash by night” in “Dover Beach.” ■END■
