A Profane Wit: The Life of John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester James William Johnson The scandalous life of the Earl of Rochester, poet and libertine. Johnson (emer., University of Rochester) wrote this generous biography - a veritable progress of a rake's rake - with enthusiasm and engaged fascination with Rochester (1647-1680)...Johnson's forte, in addition to the extensiveness of his information, is his strong narrative sweep: this is an exciting biography. Highly Recommended. CHOICE |
