Book synopsis

Nicholas von Maltzahn provides a comprehensive account of the life and writings of Andrew Marvell (1621-78), as well as the reception of his work in the century after his death. A much-loved poet, a compelling controversialist, and once famous as a Member of Parliament, Marvell's intersecting careers are explored here in detail. His biography is transformed with wide reference to print and manuscript sources, many of which are described for the first time. In this fully documented study, the new life-records are integrated with an extensive review of previous scholarship, supplying the first fresh synthesis in seventy-five years of all-known Marvell materials. Images of Marvell's daily life at home and abroad are intertwined with records of his long career as state servant and parliamentarian. Creating new contexts for Marvell's poetry and prose, this essential scholarly resource offers an often-lively biographical portrait of this fascinating seventeenth-century writer
