Like his friend and colleague John Milton, Marvell is now seen as a dominant figure in the\u003cbr\u003eliterary landscape of the mid-seventeenth century, producing a stunning oeuvre of poetry and prose either side of the Restoration. In the 1640s and 1650s he was the author of hypercanonical lyrics like 'To His Coy Mistress' and 'The Garden' as well as three epoch-defining poems about Oliver\u003cbr\u003eCromwell. After 1660 he virtually invented the verse genre of state satire as well as becoming the most influential prose satirist of the day--in the process forging a long-lived reputation as an incorruptible patriot. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eAlthough Marvell himself was an intensely private and self-contained character, whose literary, religious, and political commitments are notoriously difficult to discern, the interdisciplinary contributions by an array of experts in the fields of seventeenth-century literature, history, and politics\u003cbr\u003egathered together in the \u003cem\u003eHandbook\u003c\/em\u003e constitute a decisive step forward in our understanding of him. They offer a fully-rounded account of his life and writings, individual readings of his key works, considerations of his relations with his major contemporaries, and surveys of his rich and varied\u003cbr\u003eafterlives. Informed by the wealth of editorial and biographical work on Marvell that has been produced in the last twenty years, the volume is both a conspectus of the state of the art in Marvell studies and the springboard for future research.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Martin Dzelzainis\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/28\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 848\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.30lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.10h x 9.60w x 1.90d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198736400\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eChoice\u003c\/i\u003e 09\/01\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMartin Dzelzainis, \u003cem\u003eProfessor of Renaissance Literature and Thought, School of Art, University of Leicester\u003c\/em\u003e, Edward Holberton, \u003cem\u003eLecturer, University of Bristol\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMartin Dzelzainis is Professor of Literature and Thought at the University of Leicester.
