Publisher Synopsis
...a work of immense richness and its implications will be debated for many years to come...what this book does, it does superbly well, and it will send scholars back to the sources with new questions and new answers. David Norbrook The Library Worden steers an intricate and assured course through these complex areas, guided by his remarkable knowledge... what emerges from the close analysis of Nedham's, Milton's and Marvell's political manoeuvrings is something quite radical. Colin Burrow, London Review of Books Literature and Politics in Cromwellian England is a marvellous contribution to the field. It will play a central role in all future discussions of Milton, Nedham and Marvell, and will be of fundamental importance to all those interested in the relationship between literature and politics in seventeenth-century England. Matthew Adams, Review of English Studies Our understanding of Milton, Marvell and Nedham is quite simply transformed by Worden's brilliance as a reader of their texts and by his extraordinary ability to use their connections and divergences one with another and with a wider group of kindred spirits.
