초록
It is well known that Andrew Marvell, a renowned master of lyric poetry, was deeply involved in the historical reality of the English Civil war and produced a few interesting political poems including “An Horatian Ode.” This essay addresses Marvell’s two poems on his contemporary poets, “To his Noble Friend Mr Richard Lovelace” and “Tom May’s Death,” and discusses what Marvell viewed as the ideals that poets should seek for. In the two poems, while Marvell is keenly aware of the political changes during the turbulent period and the impacts of the war on the literature and writers, he warns his readers of the dangers of the politically oriented reading, which can blind them on the other aspects of literary works. He also emphasizes the moral integrity, artistry, and autonomy of poets as essential qualities. As is shown in Ben Jonson’s speech in “Tom May’s Death,” poets’ role is defined as voicing courageously their critical views and contributing to fellow poets and the society even in adverse situations, regardless of personal gains. Criticizing May and showing respect for Lovelace, Marvell also shows both poetry and the society will suffer through the demise of good writing and authors and the lack of healthy literary community.
