- catalog abstract ""Famed in his day as a patriot, satirist, and foe to tyranny, Marvell lived through perhaps the most turbulent period in English political history. He moved in Royalist circles during the Civil War before serving in the Protectorate, and became MP for Hull at the Restoration, a post he held for nearly twenty years until his death. The double-edged "An Horation Ode upon Cromwell's Return from Ireland" is one of the greatest political poems in the language, while his satires, both signed and anonymous, continued to rage throughout the 1660s and 1670s against a variety of abuses, from corruption at court to popery and religious persecution." "Murray shows that while Marvell was celebrated for these commitments after his death, winning admirers such as Tennyson and Hazlitt in the nineteenth century, it was not until the 1920s that his introspective poetry was rediscovered and achieved full recognition. Complex yet lucid, witty yet profound, enigmatic yet wholly accessible to modern readers, these are poems of delicate lyricism and rural seclusion which nevertheless bear the mark of political and religious questions. Marvell was a man torn between a love of creative solitude and the demands of public life, whose achievements in such contrasting spheres afford him a unique place in the history of English literature."--Jacket.".
