The Political Identity of Andrew MarvellConal Condren, A. D. Cousins Scolar Press, 1990 - 221 pages Andrew Marvell is one of the most significant figures in seventeenth-century English literature - and he was also one of the most elusive. The two characteristics of intensity and elusiveness can be discover in both his poetry and his prose, both of which reveal Marvell's continued involvement with contemporary politics and the related issues of the day. Much of Marvell's writings were related to politics in some way; his preoccupations included public praise, the ambivalent status of the writer in society, the conflicts among codes of conduct, corruption and courtly life, all of which are coloured by his concern for the religious state of the nation. These seven essays constitute a major re-appraisal of Marvell as writer and politician. |
