Andrew Marvell (1621-78) is best known today as the author of a
handful of exquisite lyrics and provocative political poems. In his
own time, however, Marvell was famous for his brilliant prose
interventions in the major issues of the Restoration, religious
toleration, and what he called "arbitrary" as distinct from
parliamentary government. This is the first modern edition of all
Marvell's prose pamphlets, complete with introductions and
annotation explaining the historical context. Four major scholars
of the Restoration era have collaborated to produce this truly
Anglo-American edition. From the Rehearsal Transpros'd, a
serio-comic best-seller which appeared with tacit permission from
Charles II himself, through the documentary Account of the Growth
of Popery and Arbitrary Government, Marvell established himself not
only as a model of liberal thought for the eighteenth century but
also as an irresistible new voice in political polemic, wittier,
more literary, and hence more readable than his contemporaries.
