Andrew Marvell (1621-78) was schooled in the building that is now the Hands on History Museum, later enjoying a political career as MP for Hull. Marvell’s political views are a recognised influence on his poetry, but how influential was Marvell’s boyhood in Hull? This talk explores Marvell’s grammar school life and its mark on poems including ‘To his Coy Mistress’.
Free, booking essential.
