About This Item
Text is clean and unmarked in tight and square covers that are without tears, creases, or chips. Only defect is age toning of the volume. From the back cover, "Andrew Marvell was a member of parliament, tutor to a ward of Oliver Cromwell's, a satirist, and a friend and colleague of Milton's. He was also one of the most interesting and important poets of the seventeenth century. Yet, apart from one or two anthology pieces like'To His Coy Mistress,' his final establishment as a major poet has waited on the twentieth century."
Synopsis
Member of Parliament, tutor to Oliver Cromwell’s ward, satirist, and friend of John Milton, Andrew Marvell was one of the most significant poets of the seventeenth century. The Complete Poems demonstrates his unique skill and immense diversity, and includes lyrical love poetry, religious works, and biting satire. From the passionately erotic “To His Coy Mistress” to the astutely political Cromwellian poems and the profoundly spiritual “On a Drop of Dew,” in which he considers the nature of the soul, these works are masterpieces of clarity and metaphysical imagery. New introduction by leading scholar Jonathan Bate Authoritative edition based on a detailed study of the extant manuscripts Also includes chronology, further reading, appendices, notes, and indexes
