Abstract:
In light of the widespread deforestation and environmental deterioration, critics were forced to adopt new perspectives and analyze the art from unique aspects. Because of this, Ecocriticism became a distinct literary genre in the 1990s. It looks into how humans relate to nature as described in writing. In this sense, much Ecocritical writing by the Romantics overlooked how important environmental issues were to 17th and 18th-century English literature. Even though he was ignored, Andrew Marvell fought for the protection of nature back in the seventeenth century. He urged people to reach a more profound emotional state when engaging with all things natural. Therefore, this essay aims to critically evaluate a few of Marvell's poems to assess him as an ecocritical poet.
