Abstract
Abstract:Andrew Marvell's commendatory poems to Robert Witty and Milton constitute his most explicit statements regarding not only translation but also writing in general, their commonalities revealing a remarkable steadiness in poetics over a period of two decades. The ethics of translation Marvell advocates in "To His Worthy Friend Doctor Witty"—ones that are rooted in Puritan tradition and overlap with key ideas from modern-day translation theory—provide a helpful basis for considering the specific issue of handling scripture that is raised in the poem to Milton. In both works, Marvell advocates that an exact essence of meaning is to be translated from source text to target.
