Description:
"Her [Haber's] intelligent analysis of Marvell's gestures of retreat and modest self-diminishment is perhaps the strongest possible comment on her own retreat from the modes of historicist criticism that have carved out the current understanding of pastoral's meaning....this literary study is marked methodologically by a moving nostalgia for the uncompromising, rigorous formalist criticism that seems now, with the entrenchment of the New Historicism, to be lost forever. But like the paradoxical and involuted poems it examines, this book is often able to turn a self-imposed critical limitation into a compelling critical strength." Seventeenth-Century News
