This new study of Andrew Marvell offers a state-of-the-art guide to
one of the most intriguing and elusive poets of the seventeenth
century. Hero to the eighteenth century for his published defences
of parliamentary government and religious toleration, Marvell was
friend and defender of Milton, underground author of satires
against the Restoration court, paradoxically, promoted by T.S.
Eliot for a diametrically opposite set of qualities and
achievements - poise, detachment, an ethos both world-excluding and
hypercivilised, not to mention the most perfect poems we have on
"the figure in the landscape". Annabel Patterson, known for her
ability to make serious scholarship engaging, explains how
Marvell's complex personality and beliefs produce these
contradictory responses. The book provides comprehensive
introductions to Marvell's different self-representations, and
places the most famous poems, such as The Garden and Horatian Ode,
in the dialectic they lose when read only in anthologies.
