Of Ink, Wit and Intrigue by Susan Cooper-Bridgewater
Of Ink, Wit and Intrigue is a quirky historical fiction, weaving known facts in the life of one of Englands most notorious wastrels, wits, poets and libertines, John Wilmot, Second Earl of Rochester (1647-1680), with invented episodes, both bizarre and plausible.
Rochester has always seemed to stay the 'oddest, most fantastical man alive', as he described himselfSusan has unearthed obscure and important details about his life with scholarly diligence. Now, in this imaginative recreation of Rochester's inmost thoughts and feelings, she delves even deeper. -- J.W. Johnson
