Send Me A Roguish Text Message
Ramble on in search of filth with Restoration London's most promiscuous, booze addled, royalty offending, saucy poetry writing genius - John Wilmot 2nd Earl of Rochester.
It's a disgraceful double-ended tale of Italian sex woodwork, highway robbery, park abuse and rhyming couplets.
- How many years did Rochester spend permanently drunk?
- How offensive was the poem he accidentally gave to King Charles II?
- What happened under the shrubbery in Hyde park when the sun went down?
- Was Rochester brilliant or awful or both?
The answer to these and so many more questions will be answered in episode 35 of Rogues Gallery Uncovered - the podcast of bad behaviour in period costume.
