Rochester and the Pursuit of Pleasure, Hardback

Rochester and the pursuit of pleasure provides a reading of Rochester’s poems, dramatic works, and letters in a biographical context. It argues that there is a thematic unity--the pursuit of pleasure--underlying his work, that this pursuit is religiously motivated and reflects Rochester’s preoccupation with and, finally, acceptance of Christianity. -- .
