  • Andrew Marvell

    Loss and aspiration, home and homeland in Miscellaneous Poems

    by A. D. Cousins ...
    This monograph studies how, across the Folio of 1681, Marvell's poems engage not merely with different kinds of loss and aspiration, but with experiences of both that were, in mid-seventeenth-century England, disturbingly new and unfamiliar. It particularly examines Marvell's preoccupation with the search for home, and with redefining the homeland, in times of civil upheaval. In doing so it traces ... Read more
