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.
