The Poems of Andrew Marvell by Nigel Smith
Little known as a poet in his own time, Andrew Marvell (1621-78) was a patriotic politician and champion of religious toleration during the Restoration. This book presents his poetry, accompanied by annotations giving a record of literary, philosophical and theological analogues and allusions. It also addresses the local points of interpretation."The more I read, the more fascinating it became.. the poems now move with even more life than they did before. If you've ever been impressed by the beauty, intelligence and sly mystery of Marvell's work, you're really going to have to get this." - Nicholas Lezzard, The Guardian
"His commentary is in many ways the best available on Marvell…On sources, Smith is highly informative..." - Times Literary Supplement
"...detailed notes and careful annotations are of high order and form a scholarship of which any editor and publisher can be justly proud." - Contemporary Review
"You could not get a more learned edition... Masterly introduction to each poem" -AN Wilson in The Telegraph, 16 October 2006
