Synopses & Reviews
Now considered to be the most important seventeenth-century poet after John Milton, Andrew Marvell's poems were published posthumously in 1681. This edition of his work offers a new recension of the Oxford English text edition of Margoliouth, and includes explanatory annotation. Marvell's skill as a prose satirist is represented by the inclusion of the first book of The Rehearsal Transpros'd.
