| Summary |
Andrew Marvell is one of the greatest English lyric poets of the seventeenth century and one of its leading polemicists. This companion brings a set of fresh questions and perspectives to bear on the varied career and diverse writings of a remarkable writer and elusive man. Drawing on important new editions of Marvell's poetry and of his prose, scholars of both history and literature examine Marvell's work in the contexts of Restoration politics and religion and of the seventeenth-century publishing world in both manuscript and print.--Book jacket. |
