John Wilmot
著者について
John Wilmot, the 2nd Earl of Rochester, was a prominent English poet and a notable figure of the Restoration period. Renowned for his satirical and often controversial works, he used his sharp wit to critique the society of his time. His poetry, characterized by its boldness and a frank exploration of themes such as love, lust, and mortality, set him apart from many of his contemporaries. Rochester's life was marked by excess and hedonism, which fueled both his artistic output and his eventual decline.
