Andrew Marvell: His Life and WritingsAndrew Marvell's reputation, for many, rests on a few brilliant lyrics, notably his famous lines "To his coy mistress". Lovely and timeless as these lyrics are, they represent only a portion of his poetry. He was a master of political celebration and satire. By use of dialogue, debate, the imagery of landscape, gardens and music, he richly conveys the tensions and contraditions of hs time. -- Book jacket. |
