LITERARY LIVES ANDREW MARVELL - MATTHEW C AUG...

This book provides an accessible account of the poet and politician Andrew Marvell's life
(1621-1678) and of the great events which found reflection in his work and in which he and his
writings eventually played a part. At the same time  considerable space is afforded to
reflecting deeply on the modes and meanings of Marvell's art  redressing the balance of recent
biography and criticism which has tended to dwell on the public and political aspects of this
literary life at the expense of lyric invention and lyric possibility. Moving beyond the
familiar terms of imitation and influence  the book aims at reconstructing an embodied history
of reading and writing  acts undertaken within a series of complex physical and social
environments  from the Hull Charterhouse to the coffee houses and print shops of Restoration
London. Care has been taken to cover the whole of Marvell's career  in verse and prose  even as
the book places the lyric achievement at the centre of its vision.
