Synopsis
Excerpt from The Pembroke Booklets: Sir John Suckling, Ballads and Other Poems; Sir Charles Sedley, Lyrics; John Wilmot (Earl of Rochester), Poems and Songs
One day his poor sisters came to the Piccadilly bowl ing-green, crying for the fear he should lose all their fortunes. To show his elasticity of spirit, we are told that, when at his lowest ebb, he would put on his most glorious apparel. It may be questioned, however, if all the tall stories told of his extremes of good and ill fortune are true. In a romancing age like the Caroline any prominent person soon acquired his legend, and suckling's large estates must have been a main stay.

The Pembroke Booklets (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This extraordinary collection gathers the works of three of the finest poets of the Caroline era: Sir John Suckling, Sir Charles Sedley, and John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester. These 17th-century lyrical masters wrote with wit, humor, and occasional cynicism about the pleasures and pains of love and courtship, providing us with a unique window into the social and cultural landscape of their time. The author presents a range of poetic styles and forms, including sonnets, ballads, and occasional verse. Sir John Suckling's playful and charming lyrics capture both the joys and frustrations of romantic love, while Sir Charles Sedley's graceful and witty verses exude a languid sensuality. In contrast, John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester's poetry is often more explicit and satirical, laying bare the darker aspects of human nature. Despite their differences, these poets shared a common fascination with the complexities of love and desire, exploring themes of longing, betrayal, and the search for fulfillment. This exquisite collection offers a captivating journey through the vibrant literary world of the Caroline era, showcasing the enduring power of these poets' insights into the human experience.
