About The Book:
This introductory study by R. Wilcher offers a comprehensive account of Andrew Marvell's poetry, tailored for readers with little or no specialized knowledge of seventeenth-century literature and history. The book begins with an overview of Marvell's life, including his time as a student, private tutor, civil servant, and Member of Parliament. The study then explores Marvell's lyrical poetry, organizing it into thematic chapters that highlight key subject matters and contexts.
One of the book's strengths is its focus on making Marvell's allusive poetry accessible to readers, offering valuable insights into the literary, cultural, and political contexts that shaped his work. At the same time, the study maintains an appreciation for the aesthetic qualities of Marvell's verse, as well as the ironic wit for which he is celebrated.
In the final chapter, Dr. Wilcher examines Marvell's public writing during his later years, especially his involvement in political developments under Oliver Cromwell and Charles II. This work serves as an excellent resource for students and those interested in understanding Marvell’s contribution to English literature and political thought.
