This is a detailed critical commentary on Andrew Marvell's lyric poems from "A Dialogue between the Resolved Soul and Created Pleasure" to "The Garden", which follows the arrangement of poems in the 1681 Folio. The book is divided into three parts, each of which indicates a mode of life - active, comtemplative and pleasurable - and offers a framework for close critical discussion of the poetry. Christine Rees demonstrates that the ordering of poems in the Folio indicates a progression and a coherence amongst the poems and provides a structure for the debate about ideas in Marvell's poetry.
