Description

John Wilmot, second Earl of Rochester (1647–1680), the notorious and brilliant libertine poet of King Charles II's court, has long been considered an embodiment of the Restoration era. This interdisciplinary collection of essays by leading scholars focuses new attention on, and brings fresh perspectives to, the writings of Lord Rochester. Particular consideration is given to the political force and social identity of Rochester's work, to the worlds - courtly and theatrical, urban and suburban - from which Rochester's poetry emerged and which it discloses, and not least to the unsettling aesthetic power of Rochester's writing. The singularity of Rochester's voice - his 'matchless wit' - has been widely recognised; this book encourages the continued appreciation of all the ways in which Rochester reveals the layered and promiscuous character of literary projects throughout the whole of a brilliant, abrasive, and miscellaneous age. Book Description Essays by leading scholars explore the work, life and times of the notorious libertine poet John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester. About the Author Matthew C. Augustine is Lecturer in Late Seventeenth-Century English Literature at the University of St Andrews.Steven N. Zwicker is Stanley Elkin Professor in the Humanities and Professor of English at Washington University, St Louis.
