John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester: New Perspectives and Reconsiderations
American Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies
Colorado Springs, CO
April 4-7, 2002
The works of John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester, are now firmly established
within the literary canon. Harold Love has recently published an
authoritative edition of his works, both the Norton and Longman anthologies
for undergraduates contain samples of his poetry, and articles and
monographs are routinely published analyzing his exploits, poems, and
plays.
Where do we go from here? What's left to be said about Rochester? What
should studies of Rochester be concerned with in the early twentieth-first
century? Gender? Sexuality? Race? Class? Power? Nature? Materialism?
Aesthetics? Something entirely new and different? This panel seeks papers
that either offer new perspectives on Rochester's life and/or works or
reappraise the current status of scholarship on this fascinating figure.
Papers from recent or current dissertation work or from current
article/book projects are particularly welcome.
