Presents the poems in versions that were current during Rochester’s lifetime, allowing the reader to experience the poems as Rochester’s contemporaries did
Incorporates insights and discoveries made over the last twenty-five years and texts of manuscripts that previously were unavailable for study
Nicholas Fisher is an associate research fellow at the Institute of English Studies, School of Advanced Study, University of London. He has co-edited a performing edition of the early settings of Rochester’s songs, Songs to Phillis (1999), and has edited a collection of essays on the poet, That Second Bottle (2000). He is currently completing a bibliography of the printed editions of Rochester's work. Keith Walker taught at University College, London from 1966 to 1996. Over the course of his notable career he produced distinguished editions of the works of many of the major Restoration and Eighteenth-Century writers, including The Poems of John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester (1984), on which this new edition is based.
