'Who Would Write? ': Andrew Marvell and the Act of Writing by John Harry McWilliams A dissertationsubmitted to the University of Bristol in accordance with the requirements of the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Faculty of Arts August2003 77,582words Abstract This thesis explores Andrew Marvell's career-long preoccupation with the act of writing, and arguesthat, for Marvell, writing was not just the medium in which he worked, but was itself a topic for careful attention. Chapter 1 presentsthe current, highly politicised, state of Marvell criticism, and argues that this critical orthodoxy needsrevising. Chapter 2 offers a survey of Marvell's considerations of writing, arguing for a consistently questioning attitude towards his medium. The chapter also places Marvell's preoccupation in the context of the radical changesto writing which occurred in his lifetime. Chapter 3 looks at some of Marvell's writings which respond to the English Civil War and its aftermath, suggesting that these writings show a particularly troubled and problematic relationship to the written word. Chapter 4 examines two poems which Marvell published in explicitly Royalist contexts just after the Civil War, and reads them as commentaries on issuesof writing and publication which beset Royalists at this time. Chapter 5 charts Marvell's most important literary relationship-that with John Milton-and the chapter culminates in a detailed reading of `On Paradise Lost', a poem in which Marvell's questioning reticence about writing meets Milton's terrifying confidence head-on. Chapter 6 provides a new reading of `An Horatian Ode upon Cromwell's Return From Ireland', looking at that poem-which starts with the writerly figure of the `forward Youth'-as Marvell's most troubled but brilliant meditation on the act of writing. 2 Acknowledgements My first thanks must go to the official advisors to this project, John Lyon and John Lee, who have been stimulating, generouswith their time, and, above all, tirelessly helpful. I would also like to thank George Donaldson who, although not officially involved in this project, has been a great source of intellectual stimulation, as well as in being very kind and helpful over the years: he has played a big part making my For initial studies at Bristol as interesting and enjoyable as they have been. the impetus to do literary researchat all, I owe a debt to Peter McDonald, Carol Meale For help and John Lyon, all of whom provided inspirational undergraduateteaching. with Latin and Greek translations at various times during my postgraduatecareer (some of which are used in this thesis), I am grateful to Elizabeth Archibald, Myra Stokes, Ad Putter, Tim Saundersand Nick Jardine, and I also owe thanks to Nick, and to William Teale, for helpful discussions of science and the history of science. For reading and commenting on parts of this thesis I would like to thank Ellen McCarthy, Ed Jack, Lotta Walker, and also Phillipa Hardman, who, as a copy editor for my article on Lachrymae Musarum, made many useful suggestionsand set new standardsfor presentation and accuracy. I would also like to thank my two readers for `upgrade' from MLitt to PhD status: both Lesel Dawson and Tom Mason made helpful suggestionsand provided much appreciated encouragement.I owe a lot to friends and family in Cambridge and in the east of England-in particular Carl, Abi, Brian, Fiona, Philip and Nena, Lyn and family, Morgan, Lotta, William and Ceri- who have made my visits home such a pleasure over the last few years. My greatest debt is to my mother, Brenda McWilliams, who has been incredibly kind and supportive over the years, and, at the final stagesof this thesis, generously lent some copy editing expertise. Special thanks must also go to Richard Meek who, as well as reading this thesis in various stagesof completion and making excellent suggestions, has been a great discussion companion and friend. For the love of Ellen McCarthy, I feel more lucky and grateful than I can say. I must also mention a recent encounter with an outstanding Marvell scholar. At a late stage in the researchfor this thesis I met Nigel Smith, who hasjust completed work on an edition of Marvell's poems that will set new standardsin the field. I owe him 3 my sincerestthanks for his encouragementof this and other projects, and his generosity both in reading portions of my work, and in allowing me to read some of his work prior to publication. Financial support was given first by the University of Bristol (in the form of an MA scholarship), and then by the AHRB (who awarded me a full PhD scholarship): for both of these I am enormously grateful as without such support this project could not have happened.I am also grateful to the Bristol University Alumni Foundation and to the Department of English at Bristol for funding a trip to give a paper at the International Milton Symposium in Beaufort, USA in June 2002. This trip gave me the invaluable opportunity to test some of the ideas here in the company of some of the best seventeenth-centuryscholars in the world. A version of Section 3 of Chapter 4 has been published as "`A Storm of Lamentations Writ": Lachrymae Musarum and Royalist Culture After the Civil War' in Yearbookof English Studies33 (2003),pp. 273-289. I would like to dedicate this thesis to the memory of my father, Bill McWilliams, to whom I owe so much of my early interest in thinking about and discussing books and ideas of all kinds. 4 Author's Declaration I declare that the work in this dissertation was carried out in accordancewith the Regulations of the University of Bristol.

He was complaining about critics who, as he saw it, over-read Marvell, turning his poems into etymological playgrounds which then failed to work as poems. The general result, according to Larkin, was that Marvell came to be viewed as a poet `of enigma, of concealedmeaning, of alternative explanation, of ambiguous attitude' (p.

Although praise is a constant theme, only the first five Poems Praise the resPective Patron and lord of Penshurst, while the remaining Poems Praise the exemplary Sidneys of bygone days, including Sir Philip and Dorothy (Sacharissa) Sidney. This shift in praise coincides with and is largely due to the gradual shift in literary economy: from the Patronage system to the literary marketPlace.

Vancouver 8, Canada. Date i\lero IL ABSTRACT This thesis is concerned with the life and poetry of Andrew Marvell as these reflect a literary and social period, 1600-1660, with quite distinctive characteristics. It is argued that Marvell led a dualistic and compartmentalised life, and that he was in this a typical figure of the age. The dualism is traced in his public career as a Civil Servant and parliamentarian, and in his private career as a poet. It is further maintained that the best poetry of Andrew Marvell derived from his years as a recluse, and the influence of the Metaphysical school of poets. His entry into public life in 1658 coincided with, and probably brought about, the termination of his private activity as a lyric poet.

    DANGEROUS BOYS DANGEROUS BOYS AND CITY PLEASURES: SUBVERSIONS OF GENDER AND DESIRE IN THE BOY ACTOR'S THEATRE By ERIN JULIAN, B.A. A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts McMaster University © Copyright by Erin Julian, September 2010 MASTER OF ARTS (2010) McMaster University (English and Cultural Studies) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Dangerous Boys and City Pleasure: Subversions of Gender and Desire in the Boy Actor's Theatre AUTHOR: Erin Julian, B.A. (Brock University) SUPERVISOR: Dr H.M. Ostovich NUMBER OF PAGES: vi, 143 ii ABSTRACT: This thesis draws on the works of Will Fisher, Lucy Munro, Michael Shapiro, and other critics who have written on the boy actor on the early modem English stage. Focussing on city comedies performed by children's companies, it argues that the boy actor functions as a kind of "third gender" that exceeds gender binaries, and interrogates power hierarchies built on those gender binaries (including marriage). The boy actor is neither man nor woman, and does not have the confining social responsibilities ofeither. This thesis argues that the boy's voice, his behaviours, and his epicene body are signifiers of his joyous and unconfined social position. Reading the boy actor as a metaphor for the city itself, it originally argues that the boy's innocence enables him to participate in the games, merriment, and general celebration of carnival, while his ability to slip fluidly between genders, ages, and other social roles enables him to participate in and embody the productively disruptive carnival, parodic, and "epicene" spaces of the city itself.

Turner and approved by ______________________________________ ______________________________________ ______________________________________ ______________________________________ New Brunswick, New Jersey May, 2012 ABSTRACT OF THE DISSERTATION Literary Song: Poetry, Drama and Acoustic Performance in Early Modern England by SCOTT A. TRUDELL Dissertation Director: Henry S. Turner This dissertation traces the development of verse with a musical dimension from Sidney and Shakespeare to Jonson and Milton, in genres ranging from prose romance and printed songbooks to outdoor pageantry and professional theater. Song was an essential part of the early modern literary canon, and it circulated ubiquitously in written format. Yet it was also highly performative, inseparable from the rhythmic, vocal and instrumental conditions of its recital. As such, song brings out the extensive interaction between writing and sound in sixteenth- and seventeenth-century literary culture. Drawing on media theory, I argue that song reveals a continual struggle to define literature, from Sidney’s emphasis on the musical properties of writing in The Defence of Poesie to Milton’s conception of the printed book as a profoundly performative medium in Areopagitica. I use song to rethink Shakespeare’s Ophelia, whom I see as a disruptive, non-scriptive versifier whose mad songs amount to an extreme type of poetry.

  • The Country House Poem Revisited
    Connotations Vol. 8.1 (t 998/99) as it art t A Pattern of the Mind: stab The Country House Poem Revisited stat, con fore JUDITH DUNDAS thee wit1 Criticism of country house poems of the seventeenth century has been the largely concerned with generic characteristics. What has been for the most con part ignored is the essentially playful nature of the genre. Instead, critical Pall emphasis tends to be placed on the moral value of country life. But in these but poems, goodness itself is so married to pleasure that the epicurean ard permeates all features. It is true that morality helps to supply structure littll for the poem but does not, at its best, weigh down the meditation on an als( ordered, yet free, space enclosed by architecture and the boundaries of hur a park or estate. T It is also important to recognize that experience in these poems is the retrospectively described. In that sense, these are poems of revisiting, even fam when the present tense is used. Imagination converts the original Res experience-always asserted to be real-into a play of fancy. A quality par that memory retains is given form by a more or less extravagant use of arc1 metaphor, culminating, as we shall see, in Marvell's "Upon Appleton mir House." One could say that the words of the poems do not simply recreate dOE experience but create it. In effect, the country house poem, in the greater the part of the seventeenth century, evolves in the direction of an emphasis StrE on subjective response, rather than on objective description.
