Recent scholarship in the history of technology has provided new insights into the early modern investigation of nature, troubling fixed boundaries between invention and discovery, and more broadly, between art and knowledge. Drawing on such research, as well as literary scholars' discussions of parallels between Renaissance poetics and technics, I suggest that further inquiries into the role of technology in Andrew Marvell's poetry may yield new insights into his depiction of nature, his politics, and the relation of the two. I conclude with a reading of ‘Music's Empire’, a poem that reveals how deeply Marvell considered the role of technology in culture.
