Book Description Paperback. Condition: Good. 342 pages. minor wear, tanned pages, sticker on frontTHE LIVES OF THE ENGLISH RAKESby Fe rgus LinnanePortrait, UK, 2006ISBN 978074995123 8trade pb, 342pp, b/w platesGOOD: minor wear, t anned pages, sticker on frontThe English rake strides through the pages of romantic fiction, impossibly handsome, cyni cal and dangerous, a gambler, a deadly swordsman leaving a trail of broken hearts and slain rivals in his wake. The reality was if anything more intriguing. Some were poets and playwrights of gen ius - including the Earl of Rochester, author of some of the most tender and most obscene lyrics in the language. Others, such as Colonel Charteris 'Rape-master General', personified depravity. T his unique and fascinating book charts the exploits the English r ake, beginning in the Restoration Era with the hedonistic Charles II and his licentious courtiers, and following the flowering and then final decline of the rake during the Victorian era. Along t he way you learn about England's most reckless libertines and dis cover how the Hell-fire Club lived up to its reputation for debau chery and satanic blasphemy. You'll become intimately acquainted with those who have the dubious accolade of being the biggest rog ues, lechers and profligates in history. Seller Inventory # 1137z
