Texts are not only the work of a single author but rather the result of their intertextuality or how different texts are influenced by one another. The idea that a text cannot stand alone is central to intertextuality.

Unlike other forms of literature, poetry may be difficult for many readers to comprehend and enjoy. In order to determine whether intertextuality enhances imaginative reading, this research will examine Arnold's Dover Beach poem. This study set out to address the question: Does Arnold's Dover Beach, which uses intertextuality, encourage more imaginative reading? In order to address the research issue, the study used a literature review and qualitative research methods. The research found that reading and comprehending poetry is improved by knowing how authors utilize and interact with intertextuality, based on analyzing the four stanzas of Mathew Arnold's poem Dover Beach using the Fairclough model.
