Written whilst Marvell was working as a tutor in the household of the retired Parliamentarian general Thomas Fairfax, its aesthetic and political attitudes have caused critical controversy. My article brings new information about Appleton House itself into the literary debate, showing how the remodelling of Fairfax's property by the architect John Webb during Marvell's stay might elucidate the poet's apparently ambivalent attitude towards architecture in the poem. More broadly, this evidence also gives a new perspective on Marvell's own political affiliations at this date. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of Seventeenth Century is the property of Taylor & Francis Ltd and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
