Andrew Marvell's Liminal Lyrics: The Space Between is an
interdisciplinary study of the major lyric poems of
seventeenth-century British metaphysical poet Andrew Marvell. The
poet and his work have generally proven enigmatic to scholars
because both refuse to fit into normal categories and expectations.
This study invites Marvell readers to view the poet and some of his
representative lyrics in the context of the anthropological concept
of liminality as developed by Victor Turner and enriched by Arnold
Van Gennep, Jacques Lacan, and other observers of the in-between
aspects of experience. The approach differs from previous attempts
to "explain" Marvell in that it allows multidisciplinary and
multi-media contexts in a broad matrix of the areas of experience
and representation that defy boundaries, that blur the line at
which entrance becomes exit. This study acknowledges that the poems
discussed, and, by implication, the entire corpus of Marvell's work
and the life that produced it, derive from a refusal to draw a
definite divide. In analyzing a small selection of Marvell's life
and lyrics as explorations of various realms of liminality in word
and image, readers can see a passageway to the poet's works that
never really reaches a destination; instead, the unlimited
possibilities of the journey remain. Thus, the in-between aspects
of the poet and his poetry actually define his technique as well as
his brilliance.
