Publisher Description

Rochester, incontestably the greatest of the Restoration poets and reprobates, is presented in The Debt to Pleasure both in his own words and the words of those who loved or loathed him.

The book is a mosaic in which the poet's voice and the voice of his age sound with a startling, ribald, and riotous clarity.
