This book is about the things which could unite, rather than divide, poets during        the English Civil Wars: friendship, patronage relations, literary admiration, and        anti-clericalism. The central figure is Andrew Marvell, renowned for his        'ambivalent' allegiance in the late 1640s. Little is known about Marvell's        associations in this period, when many of his best-known lyrics were composed. The        London literary circle which formed in 1647 under the patronage of the wealthy        royalistThomas Stanley included 'Cavalier' friends of Marvell such as Richard        Lovelace but also John Hall, a Parliamentarian propagandist inspired by reading        Milton. Marvell is placed in the context of Stanley's impressive circle of friends        and their efforts to develop English lyric capability in the absence oftraditional        court patronage. By recovering the cultural values that were shared by Marvell and        the like-minded men with whom he moved in the literary circles of post-war London,        we are more likely to find the reasons for their decisions about political        allegiance. By focusing on a circle of friends and associates we can also get a        sense of how they communicated with and influenced one another through their verse.          There are innovative readings of Milton's sonnets and Lovelace's lyric verse,while        new light is shed on the origins and audience not only of Marvell's early political        poems, including the 'Horatian Ode', but lyrics such as 'To His Coy        Mistress'.
