    A fresh reading of Marvell's most important works, exploring the variety and complexity of his approaches to contemporary religious and political events. Andrew Marvell's celebrated poetic ambivalence to the philosophical, political and religious controversies of mid-seventeenth century England is the subject of this book, which includes major new historical readings of his most important lyrics and political verse, incorporating material from hitherto unpublished contemporary manuscripts. It places the poetic imagination of Marvell and his contemporaries - such as John Milton, Henry Vaughan, Abraham Cowley, Margaret Cavendish, William Davenant, and Thomas Fairfax - into the context of the turbulent public events of the time; and demonstrates Marvell's hitherto unnoticed connection with the liberal, rational and sceptical thinkers associated with the Great Tew circle. It also argues that Marvell's 'middle way' in theology is bound up with his ambivalence towards the Calvinist God. Takashi Yoshinaka took his D.Phil. at the University of Oxford, and is Professor of English in the Graduate School of Letters, Hiroshima University Introduction : providential theology and Andrew Marvell -- The political use and abuse of 'Provence' in the mid-seventeenth century -- Judgement hard : Andrew Marvell and seventeenth-century scepticism -- Destiny and choice in Marvell's 'An Horatian ode upon Cromwell's return from Ireland' -- The meadow and the woods : providence, chance, and free will in Marvell's 'Upon Appleton house' -- The sundial and the bee : a philosophical and political reading of the final stanza of Marvell's 'The garden' -- A dialogue between the Puritan and the Royalist : who is the speaker of Marvell's 'To his coy mistress'? -- '(Perhaps)' in Marvell's 'Bermudas' -- Conclusion : Marvell's silver wings and the Marvel of Peru

    Hesiod entwirft in den Erga das Bild von einem Menschen, dessen Dasein nicht allein einem unabwendbaren Schicksal unterliegt. Geleitet vom Verstand (nous) übernimmt stattdessen der Einzelne Verantwortung für sein Handeln. Vorliegende Untersuchung geht nicht allein dieser - im Rahmen der frühgriechischen Literatur neuartigen - Sichtweise nach, sondern zeigt auch, dass dem nous eine Schlüsselfunktion für eine adäquate Rezeption der Erga zukommt.
