Andrew Marvell, Orphan of the Hurricane studies the poetry and
polemics of one of the greatest of early modern writers, a poet of
immense lyric talent and political importance. The book situates
these writings and this writer within the patronage networks and
political upheavals of mid seventeenth-century England. Derek Hirst
and Steven Zwicker track Marvell's negotiations among personalities
and events; explores his idealizations, attachments, and
subversions, and speculate on the meaning of the narratives that he
told of himself within his writings -- what they call his 'imagined
life'. Hirst and Zwicker draw the figure of an imagined life from
the repeated traces Marvell left of lyric yearning and satiric
anger, and suggest how these were rooted both in the body and in
the imagination.
The book sheds new light on some of Marvell's most familiar poems
-- 'Upon Appleton House', 'The Garden', ' To His Coy Mistress', and
'Horatian Ode' -- but at its centre is an extended reading of
Marvell's 'The unfortunate Lover', his least familiar and surely
most mysterious lyric, and his most sustained narrative of the
self. By attending to the lyric, the polemical, and the
parliamentary careers together, this book offers a reading, for the
first time, of Marvell and his writings as an interpretable whole.
