Andrew Marvell (1621-1678) remains one of the most admired poets in the English language, celebrated for the wit, beauty and imaginative power of works such as 'To His Coy Mistress', 'The Garden' and 'Upon Appleton House'. Yet the man behind these poems has often remained elusive. Drawing on three decades of groundbreaking scholarship, Nicholas von Maltzahn brings Marvell vividly to life, revealing how his poetry, political commitments and personal experiences were shaped by the upheavals of the English Revolution and the Restoration.
From lyric genius to fierce polemicist, Marvell emerges as a writer whose private verse and public writings illuminate each other in unexpected ways.
