Opis

Studying the Folio of 1681, this book explores Marvell's connoisseurship with myth, his role as mythmaker, when he represents the experiencing of loss and aspiration amid the uncertainties of life in mid-seventeenth-century England. It particularly examines Marvell's preoccupation with the search for home, and with redefining the homeland, in times of civil upheaval.
