Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Some Account of the Life and Death of John Wilmot: Earl of Rochester, Who Died 25, 1630, Written by His Own Direction on His Death-Bed Bishop Burnet's Narrative of the most remarkable Passages in the Life of the celebrated John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester, has ever been greatly valued, not only as an elegant composition, but as a lesson of instruction to mankind. A young nobleman, conversant in a most licentious court, whence regularity of behaviour and sound morality were banished for the more tempting allurements of vicious pleasures and sensual gratifications, was unhappily drawn into the commission of the most unjustifiable and profligate actions. A fit of sickness roused him into a sense of his abandoned course of life: he called for the assistance of an eminent divine, to whom he trusted his most secret actions; and, with all the candour of conviction and the sincerity of penitence, earnestly requested him, on his death-bed to communicate them freely and undisguised to the world. Burnet has faithfully fulfilled the intentions of his penitent; but at the same time, has related the best as well as the worst part of Lord Rochester's life. The very high encomium bestowed upon this book by Dr. Samuel Johnson, in his Lives of the English Poets, has induced the bookseller to reprint it, with the addition of the same great authors Account of the Life and Writings of the Earl of Rochester; as well as another by the late Hora Walpole, Earl of Orford.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A biography of the poet and libertine the Earl of Rochester. Of the glittering, licentious court around King Charles II, John Wilmot, the second Earl of Rochester, was the most notorious. Simultaneously admired and vilified, he personified the rake-hell. Libertine, profane, promiscuous, heshocked his pious contemporaries with his doubts about religion and his blunt verses that dealt with sex or vicious satiric assaults on the high and mighty of the court. This account of Rochester and his times provides the facts behind his legendary reputation as a rake and his deathbed repentance. However, it also demonstrates that he was a loving if unfaithful husband, a devoted father, a loyal friend, a serious scholar, a social critic, and an aspiring patriot. An Emeritus Professor of English at the University of Rochester, James William Johnson is the author or editor of nine books and many articles treating British and American Literature.
