Little known as a poet in his own time, Andrew Marvell (1621-78)
was a patriotic politician and champion of religious toleration
during the Restoration. Although long celebrated for the great love
lyric, To His Coy Mistress, the last century has seen his wider
reputation as a poet grow significantly, as readers have acclaimed
not only his technical excellence, but the appeal of his verse to
such themes as poetry and politics, alternative sexualities and the
criticism of violent persecution. Nigel Smith presents an
authoritative text of Marvell's poetry, accompanied by extensive
annotations giving an unprecedented record of literary,
philosophical and theological analogues and allusions. Local points
of interpretation are addressed - using the many hundreds of
publications devoted to Marvell's life and works - and Marvell's
canon is re-appraised: some poems considered dubious hitherto are
added, and others excluded. In a headnote to each poem, the reader
will find the fullest accounts yet published of matters of dating,
sources, publication, historical context, and critical reception.
The first complete, annotated edition of Andrew Marvell's verse for
thirty years, this is an indispensable guide to the study of
Marvell's poetry This revised edition contains new information
available since the original publication: newly recovered versions
of some poems, further details of historical context and updated
translations of all the Latin poems. It remains the first point of
reference for scholar, student and general reader alike.
