Download or read book The Oxford Handbook of Andrew Marvell written by Martin Dzelzainis and published by Oxford Handbooks. This book was released on 2019 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford Handbook of Andrew Marvell is the most comprehensive and informative collection of essays ever assembled dealing with the life and writings of the poet and politician Andrew Marvell (1621-78). Like his friend and colleague John Milton, Marvell is now seen as a dominant figure in the literary landscape of the mid-seventeenth century, producing a stunning oeuvre of poetry and prose either side of the Restoration. In the 1640s and 1650s he was the author of hypercanonical lyrics like 'To His Coy Mistress' and 'The Garden' as well as three epoch-defining poems about Oliver Cromwell. After 1660 he virtually invented the verse genre of state satire as well as becoming the most influential prose satirist of the day--in the process forging a long-lived reputation as an incorruptible patriot. Although Marvell himself was an intensely private and self-contained character, whose literary, religious, and political commitments are notoriously difficult to discern, the interdisciplinary contributions by an array of experts in the fields of seventeenth-century literature, history, and politics gathered together in the Handbook constitute a decisive step forward in our understanding of him. They offer a fully-rounded account of his life and writings, individual readings of his key works, considerations of his relations with his major contemporaries, and surveys of his rich and varied afterlives. Informed by the wealth of editorial and biographical work on Marvell that has been produced in the last twenty years, the volume is both a conspectus of the state of the art in Marvell studies and the springboard for future research.

Moralist.Oh, and I almost forgot- Poet.As a student, or perhaps a teacher of English Literature, it will be this element of the man that concerns and interests you most. But if, right now, you are feeling as concerned as interested - then take heart: this guide aims to help change all that! Because of the line length of particular poems, and because of what may at first seem like challenging word choices, many people come reluctantly to Marvell. It is too difficult; his poems are 'too clever'; they are soaked in obscure literary traditions. It is all too old-hat.But! In this short guide I aim to show you that the reverse is true. Marvell can be straightforward and rewarding to read, when we approach him in a disciplined way. The poetry of this clever man is filled with insights into his own times, tempered with irony. Both his insights and his irony are just as relevant to us and our times, too. Like my other Gavin's Guides, this book aims to help you come to admire the author AND raise your exam grade. Right now, Marvell is a chosen text for OCR A-Level. Exam questions ask candidates to compare Marvell with another text. This means you are free to choose which Marvell poems you study. However, examiners have inferred that the shorter, lyrical poems are not enough. So here I tackle some of the big guns!The poems under the microscope in this volume are:Tom May's Death An Epitaph upon------Upon the Death of the Lord HastingsAn Elegy upon the Death of My Lord Francis VilliersAn Horatian Ode upon Cromwell's Return from Ireland The First Anniversary of the Government under His Highness the Lord ProtectorA Poem upon the Death of His Late Highness the Lord ProtectorCome with me on the journey of exploring Marvell's methods and meanings, and you'll be fascinated, too. The First Anniversary of the Government under His Highness the Lord Protector A Poem upon the Death of His Late Highness the Lord Protector Together with my sections on 'Exam Technique' and 'What makes Marvell such a great poet' these poems will provide enough insight to answer exam questions fully.

Download or read book Theatrical Milton written by Brendan Prawdzik and published by Edinburgh University Press. This book was released on 2017-04-18 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Theatrical Milton brings coherence to the presence of theatre in John Milton through the concept of theatricality. In this book, 'theatricality' identifies a discursive field entailing the rhetorical strategies and effects of framing a given human action, including speech and writing, as an act of theatre. Political and theological cultures in seventeenth-century England developed a treasury of representational resources in order to stage-to satirize and, above all, to de-legitimate-rhetors of politics, religion, and print. At the core of Milton's works is a contradictory relation to theatre that has neither been explained nor properly explored. This book changes the terms of scholarly discussion and discovers how the social structures of theatre afforded Milton resources for poetic and polemical representation and uncovers the precise contours of Milton's interest in theatre and drama.

Download or read book Cosmos and Character in Paradise Lost written by M. Sarkar and published by Palgrave Macmillan. This book was released on 2012-06-08 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book offers a fresh contextual reading of Paradise Lost that suggests that a recovery of the vital intellectual ferment of the new science, magic, and alchemy of the seventeenth century reveals new and unexpected aspects of Milton's cosmos and chaos, and the characters of the angels and Adam and Eve. After examining the contextual references to cabalism, hermeticism, and science in the invocations and in the presentation of chaos and Night, the book focuses on the central stage of the epic action, Milton's unique cosmos, at once finite and infinite, with its re-orientation of compass points. While Milton relies on the new astronomy, optics and mechanics in configuring his cosmos, he draws upon alchemy to suggest that the imagined prelapsarian cosmos is the crucible within which vital re-orientations of authority could have taken place.
