This monograph studies how, across the Folio of 1681, Marvell's
poems engage not merely with different kinds of loss and
aspiration, but with experiences of both that were, in
mid-seventeenth-century England, disturbingly new and unfamiliar.
It particularly examines Marvell's preoccupation with the search
for home, and with redefining the homeland, in times of civil
upheaval. In doing so it traces his progression from being a poet
who plays sophisticatedly with received myth to being one who is a
national mythmaker in rivalry with his poetic contemporaries such
as Waller and Davenant. Although focusing primarily on poems in the
Folio of 1681, this book considers those poems in relation to
others from the Marvell canon, including the Latin poems and the
satires from the reign of Charles II. It closely considers them as
well in relation to verse by poets from the classical past and the
European, especially English, present.
