A vivid introduction to the life and work of the beloved poet of the English Baroque.

Andrew Marvell (1621-78) 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.
