Member of Parliament tutor to Oliver Cromwell's ward satirist and friend of John Milton Andrew Marvell was one of the most interesting and important poets of the seventeenth century. The Complete Poems demonstrates his unique skill and immense diversity to the full and includes lyrical love-poetry religious works and biting satire. From the passionately erotic To his Coy Mistress to the astutely political Cromwellian poems and the profoundly spiritual On a Drop of Dew in which he considers the nature of the soul these works are masterpieces of clarity and metaphysical imagery. Eloquent and compelling they remain among the most vital and profound works of the era - works by a figure who in the words of T. S. Eliot speaks clearly and unequivocally with the voice of his literary age'.
