More DescriptionIn 1654, Andrew Marvell celebrated England's political and imperial quest for 'other worlds' in search of still more multiple worlds. Marvell's enthusiastic, nationalist vision of multiple worlds is strikingly appropriate to his own poetry which presents the reader with different worlds of experience, a range of poetic genres, themes and ideas. Marvell's idea of multiple worlds is used as the organising device for The Poetry of Andrew Marvell which provides a study of a representative selection of Marvell's lyrical poetry. The poems are subjected to a range of critical approaches, including traditional close reading, historical and feminist analyses, intended to introduce the reader to his poetry and to some of the cross-currents of contemporary criticism.
