One of the youngest and most handsome courtiers of the restored Charles II, he was the favorite of a king whose wit, lasciviousness and serious intellectual interests he shared. He was banished from court several times, but Charles’s pleasure in his conversation always resulted in his recall. His authentic adventures included the attempted abduction of an heiress (whom he later married), smashing a phallic-shaped sundial in the royal gardens during a drunken celebrity, and a violent quarrel with the watch at Epsom in which one of his companions was killed. 　　Quite apart from his reputation as a poet, he was feted in the writings of his friends, notably in Sir George Etherege’s comedy, “The Man of Mode”. Just before he died in 1680, at the age of 33, destroyed by alcoholism and syphilis, Rochester’s legend took a surprising turn. After a series of conversations with an Anglican rationalist divine, Gilbert Burnet, the skeptical libertine made a death-bed conversion which was celebrated in the devotional literature of the succeeding century. 　　Charming as it is, the Rochester legend has always been a distraction. It has resulted in many apocryphal stories and uncertain attributions, and it can still divert attention from the poetry. It is Rochester’s achievement as a poet which commands our interest and makes him something more than a luridly colorful period figure. For all the brevity of his career, Rochester is a crucial figure in the development of English verse satire and the Horatian epistle, a student of his elder French contemporary Boileau, and an important exemplar for later poets as different as Alexander Pope and Anne Finch, Countess of Winchilsea.首页上页 \| 1 \| 2 \| 3 \| 4 ... 下页尾页共 7 页站内搜索全网搜索欢迎各类教育考试网站、培训机构、出版机构与我们合作。内容合作电话:(010)85184499-369；商务合作电话：(010)85184499-655或343 【教育频道主编】电话：(010)85184499-369 E-mail：相关主题：考研英语英语专业考研北京自考英语专业考研英语
