Augustine, Pertile and Zwicker celebrate the work of Andrew Marvell
(1621-1678) in the quatercentenary year of his birth, combining the
best historical scholarship with a varied and ambitious programme
of cognitive, affective, and aesthetic inquiry. The essays have
been specially commissioned for the quatercentenary and include the
work of a range of scholars from Britain and North America.
Acknowledged masterpieces such as the 'Horatian Ode', 'The Garden',
and 'Upon Appleton House' are here read in light of historical and
material evidence that has emerged in recent decades. At the same
time, the volume offers many fresh points of entry into Marvell's
work, with particular attention to the poet's lyric economies,
Marvell's engagement with popular print, and, not least, the
polyglot and transnational dimensions of his writing. The
quatercentenary also represents an important anniversary for
Marvell studies, marking one hundred years since T. S. Eliot's
appreciation of the poet inaugurated modern Marvell criticism. As
Imagining Andrew Marvell at 400 reassesses Marvell's writings it
also reflects on the profession of English literature, taking stock
of the discipline itself, where it has been and where it might be
going as scholars continue to map the pleasures and challenges of
reading and re-reading Andrew Marvell.
