The seventeenth-century poet Andrew Marvell (1621â1678) is one of the most intriguing figures in English literature. A noted civil servant under Cromwellâs 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 Marvellâs 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 Smithâs pivotal biography provides an unparalleled look into Marvellâs life, from his early employment as a tutor and gentlemanâs companion to his suspicious death, reputedly a politically fueled poisoning. Drawing on exhaustive archival research, the voluminous corpus of Marvellâs previously little known writing, and recent scholarship across several disciplines, Smithâs portrait becomes the definitive account of this elusive life.
