Afterlife and Revelation --List of Abbreviations --Notes --IndexThe seventeenth-century poet Andrew Marvell (1621-1678) is one of the most intriguing figures in English literature. A noted civil servant under Cromwell's Protectorate, he has been variously identified as a patriot, spy, conspirator, concealed homosexual, father to the liberal tradition, and incendiary satirical pamphleteer and freethinker. But while Marvell's poetry and prose has attracted a wide modern following, his prose is known only to specialists, and much of his personal life remains shrouded in mystery.Nigel Smith's pivotal biography provides an unparalleled look into Marvell's life, from his early employment as a tutor and gentleman's companion to his suspicious death, reputedly a politically fueled poisoning. Drawing on exhaustive archival research, the voluminous corpus of Marvell's previously little known writing, and recent scholarship across several disciplines, Smith's portrait becomes the definitive account of this elusive life.Poets, EnglishEarly modern, 1500-1700BiographyLegislatorsGreat BritainBiographyPolitics and literatureGreat BritainHistory17th centuryGreat BritainPolitics and government1660-1688Poets, EnglishLegislatorsPolitics and literatureHistory821/.4BLAN000000STU000000bisacshSmith Nigel1958-611489MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910964649003321Andrew Marvell4379590UNINA
