It will be an exciting time at the Marvell Society’s sessions at this year’s South-Central Renaissance Conference in St. Louis, Missouri, on March 3-5, 2011.

Paper topics will include “An Horation Ode,” “The Mower Against Gardens,” “Mr. Smirke,” “Appleton House.”

We will also have our much-anticipated panel discussion on “The Picture of Little T.C.” The Society will also be treated to talks by Steven Zwicker and Derek Hirst.

The Chameleon

The Marvell Society congratulates our president Nigel Smith of Princeton University, whose newly-published biography of Andrew Marvell The Chameleon has already been praised as “staking a substantial claim to the coveted (if always provisional) title of the definitive biography” of Andrew Marvell (Nicholl).

For other accolades, see these reviews:

  • The Wall Street Journal: Books and Ideas
  • London Review of Books
  • The Independent

We look forward to seeing our fellow Marvellians in St. Louis March 3.
