The Complete Poems

Many of Marvell's poems subtly critique society and power structures. I'm curious how his personal beliefs shaped his work and whether that adds layers for modern readers.

His reflections on life and death feel surprisingly modern, yet also deeply rooted in 17th-century thought. What lines resonated most strongly with others?

Having access to his entire body of work offers a comprehensive view, but I wonder if the editors faced choices on what to highlight or exclude.
