“Uncertain and adult’rate fruit”: White Supremacy in Marvell’s “The Mower against Gardens”
In Andrew Marvell’s “The Mower against Gardens,” the titular mower criticizes the ways in which the natural world is converted into capitalist commodities, opposing human exploitation of nature for financial gain. Despite this apparently anodyne posture, the mower’s rejection of exploitative if…

Anniversary Verses: Marvell’s “The First Anniversary,” Donne’s Anniversaries, and the History of a Genre
Andrew Marvell’s “The First Anniversary” participates in an early modern micro-genre: the anniversary, a poem written to commemorate a death. Tracing the lineage of the genre from medieval masses for the souls of the dead to John Donne’s Reformation elegy to Protectorate panegyrics, the essay…

Marvel, Colonel Thomas Blood, and Juvenal
The notorious attempt by Colonel Thomas Blood (1617/18-80) to steal the crown jewels from the Tower of London in May 1671 while disguised as a clergyman inspired Marvell’s epigrams in Latin and English. Marvell suggests in his opening line that the motive for this otherwise quixotic venture was…

A Green Marvell: Seventeenth Century Draining of the Fens and “Salmon-Fishers Moist” in Upon Appleton House
It has been noted that riots were ongoing in the nearby Fens at the time Upon Appleton House was composed. In the summer of 1651, fen men were rioting against the drainage project in Hatfield Chase and the Isle of Axholme. The area was among the first of the vast tracts of land to be drained into…

Reading Marvell with John Aubrey (and occasionally Anthony Wood)
This paper explores how the recent critical reassessment of the biographer and antiquarian John Aubrey (1626–97) and the increasing availability of his writings can reveal new perspectives on Marvell’s early reception. Aubrey read all available instances of Marvell’s writing and studied them…

Marvell as Miltonist
Marvell’s commendations of Milton prove him a perceptive critic of the Latin prose and the epic verse. Not merely summarizing the content or intoning conventional praise, he invents a structural or architectonic mode of reading, articulates a subjective and emotional reader-response, connects…

Andrew Marvell’s "Bermudas," Paradisal Places, and the Protestant Critique of Sacred Space
In this article I look at Andrew Marvell’s “Bermudas” (1653-54), a work that continues to puzzle us. The poem describes an idyllic paradisal landscape, identified with the tropical Bermudas but which the reader knows belongs only to a cartography of the imagination. In what sense are we supposed to…

Andrew Marvell and John Barclay's Satyricon
An unidentified Latin verse quotation in Mr. Smirke proves to derive from John Barclay’s Satyricon (1607). This discovery resolves what had seemed a textual crux in the standard edition of Mr. Smirke. It also invites review of how Marvell deploys this material for his present purpose, what…

Examining the relationship between narrative and surface-level appeals, the article excavates stanzas that represent common…

White Tears and Indian Slaves in Marvell’s “Mourning”
Previous criticism of Marvell’s “Mourning” has not only ignored the narrator’s invocation of “Indian slaves,” but has in most cases actually erased it. This essay explores the consequences of that erasure for our understanding of the poem and its place in the history of colonialism and…

"Mourning" and the Gender Politics of Cavalier Joy
By reading the Chlora of Marvell’s “Mourning” as Mary Kirke, the married mistress of Francis Villiers, this essay utilizes Marvell’s depiction of Kirke in “A Poem Upon the Death of My Lord Francis Villiers” as an intertext for “Mourning.” Focusing on the turn from mourning to rejoicing in both…

Marvell Against Mourning
Andrew Marvell has several poems about “mourning” to his credit, most notably his funeral elegies for Francis Villiers, Henry Hastings, and Oliver Cromwell, which memorialize the deceased by deploying tropes of bereavement, grief, and consolation––that is, the stuff of elegy. Curiously, his short…
