“…11 Actually, the depiction of Appleton House as an emblem of social cohesion is further subverted in stanzas LIX and LX, where the persona records Denton's mock-flood just before his retreat from the flooded meadow to the wood: 12 Denton sets ope its cataracts; And makes the meadow truly be (What it but seemed before) a sea. For, jealous of its Lord's long stay, It tries t' invite him thus away.…”

This essay develops a new perspective on the scientific imagination in seventeenth-century England by attending to one of its wayward expositors, the poet Andrew Marvell. His famously difficult country-house poem, "Upon Appleton House" (1651), makes the unfamiliar suggestion that “carelessness” intensifies receptivity to natural (and other) phenomena. No extant interpretive rubric (sprezzatura, say, or “repression”) captures the genuine freedom from exertion Marvell asks us to discern in his speaker’s signature affect. The poet’s casual indifference casts a new light on the history of experimentalism extending from Francis Bacon to Robert Hooke and beyond.
