Chapter 30: The Island's Watchful Sentinel

Acknowledgements

I should like to express particular gratitude to the British Library Centre for the Book for the award of the first Gladys Krieble Delmas Fellowship in 1997, which greatly facilitated access to and use of the British Library's collections. The Local Studies Library at Kingston-upon-Hull Central Library has a special collection relating to Marvell, containing some unique items, which was of exceptional value. I am also grateful to staff of the London Library, the Bodleian Library, and Llyfrgell Genedlaethol Cymru (the National Library of Wales). Mrs Pat Dyson of Greenland Farm, Patrington, kindly opened up for me the Parish Church at Winestead-in-Holderness. In writing this book I have found myself repeatedly in debt to the work of a number of twentieth-century Marvell scholars and historians who have greatly added to biographical knowledge about the poet: Pauline Burdon, Elsie Duncan-Jones, Hilton Kelliher, J.P. Kenyon, Pierre Legouis, H.M. Margoliouth, D.I.B. Smith and L.N. Wall are among the most prominent.
