Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good. Lord Rochester's Monkey: Being the Life of John Wilmot, Second Earl of Rochester; Graham Greene; Bodley Head, London, 1974. From the blurb - John Wilmot, Second Earl of Rochester (1647-80), was the most notorious of the Restoration rakes. He was also a fine lyrical and satirical poet whose work - in Graham Greene's opinion, has been underestimated because it was overshadowed by his life of lechery and drunkenness, wild pranks and practical jokes, and death-bed repentance. At Court, King Charles II suffered but respected Rochester's biting satires, joined in some of his erotic escapades, forgave his embarrassing japes, and rewarded him with distinctions. The heiress Elizabeth Mallet succumbed to his charm, eloped with him, and remained constant, though not always happy, through thirteen years of marriage. Elizabeth Barry, his favourite mistress, owed to him her success on the stage and gained his sincere devotion. Yet the last thirteen years of Rochester's short life were 'clouded by the fumes of drink' and were marked by outrageous buffoonery, an abortive duel, and literary quarrels that threatened to wreck his undoubted gifts of friendship. These notorious episodes, no less than the religious scruples that culminated in his death-bed call to Dr Burnet in 1680, characterise the mental and psychological conflict which was the source of Rochester's finest poetry. His friend Etherege depicted him in the stage character of Dorimant: 'I know he is a Devil, but he has something of the Angel yet undefac'd in him.' Mr. Greene's biography is not only a substantial work of biographical research and revealing portraiture, but also a vivid survey of the social and literary background of one of the most bizarre periods of English history, which is further reflected in this book by a splendid array of contemporary portraits, drawings, and engravings. This book is in near-fine condition in a very-good dust jacket, that is now enclosed in a protective mylar wrap. There is a ownership signature of the front free endpaper. Well-illustrated (illustrator).…
