Talk by Frank Kermode
Two years after Marveil's death his servant Mary Palmer , in order to forestall other claims, published hit lyrical poems with an address to the ' Ingenious Reader.' In the light of a new edition of these poems, Frank Kermode argues that Mar-veil's poetry has tended to be confused on the one hand with the ' metaphysical' and on the other with nineteenth-century conceptions of rhe ' lyrical,' and that the poetical tradition to which he really belonged has in consequence been overlooked. The speaker suggests that a new critical language is neededto enable the 'ingenious reader' to put.Marvell in his proper perspective.
Mr. Kermode is Lecturer in Englishat
Reading University.
(Continued in next column)
