Rochester, Dorset, Sedley, Etherege and Sheffield write about desire, pleasure, reputation and disappointment with wit that can be elegant, sceptical or deliberately outrageous. These poems reveal a society in which polished manners and sharp satire often concealed uncertainty about love and human motives. The selection offers a lively introduction to Restoration poetry and to the voices that helped give the age of Charles II its reputation for verbal brilliance and irreverence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Folio Vault","offers":[{"title":"Very Good","offer_id":55216359473491,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"Good","offer_id":55421091447123,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/thefoliovault.com\/products\/restoration-carnival-folio-society-73","provider":"Folio Vault","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
