Description: "This important study provides an up to date perspective on a writer still thought of merely as the author of a lyric and pastoral poems. It looks at both Marvell's political poetry and his often neglected political prose, revealing Marvell's life long commitment to writing about the values and standards of public life and follows his often dangerous writerly activities on behalf of freedom of conscience and constitutional government."--BOOK JACKET.

"Marvell: The Writer in Public Life is substantially revised from Professor Patterson's well received 1978 study, including a new introduction and new chapter on Marvell and secret history. The remaining chapters have been thoroughly revised both to bring them up to date with the most recent scholarship and critical work and to make the book accessible to undergraduates and a general audience."--BOOK JACKET.
