Jarrell
U.S. poet and critic. Born in Nashville, Tenn., he taught at the Univ. of N. Carolina (Greensboro) from 1947 until his death. As a critic, he revitalized the reputations of R. Frost, W. Whitman, and W. C. Williams in the 1950s; his criticism is collected in Poetry and the Age (1953), A Sad Heart at the Supermarket (1962), and the posthumous Third Book of Criticism (1969). His poems appeared in Little Friend, Little Friend (1945) and Losses (1948), both drawing on his wartime experiences, and such later collections as The Seven-League Crutches (1951) and The Woman at the Washington Zoo (1960). He was killed when he stepped in front of a moving car.
Marvell
English poet and politician. He was employed as a tutor, incl. to O. Cromwell's ward, before becoming an assistant to J. Milton in the foreign office in 1657. From 1659 he held a seat in Parliament. His reputation as one of the finest secular Metaphysical poets (see Metaphysical poetry) is based on a small body of brilliant lyric verse, incl. "To His Coy Mistress" (1681) and "The Garden." Among his other works are classical odes, such as "An Horatian Ode upon Cromwell's Return from Ireland" (1650); political verse satires opposing the government after the Restoration, such as Last Instructions to a Painter (1667); and prose satires.
