Summary | "Andrew Marvell" by Augustine Birrell is a biographical account written in the early 20th century. This work delves into the life and legacy of Andrew Marvell, a prominent poet, politician, and contemporary of Milton, who played an influential role during the English Commonwealth and Restoration periods. The biography explores Marvell's multifaceted character as a writer, scholar, and civil servant, focusing on his contributions to poetry and politics. The opening of the biography introduces Marvell's early life, highlighting his upbringing in a scholarly household and his education, which laid the foundation for his future pursuits. Augustine Birrell reflects on Marvell's elusive nature as a historical figure, noting that while many details of his life, such as his education at Cambridge, his poetry, and his political endeavors, are well-documented, there remains a profound lack of personal insight into Marvell's character. Birrell presents the poignant context of Marvell's life against the backdrop of 17th-century England, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of his influential works and political involvement as the narrative unfolds.
