Topic: Sodom, or the Quintessence of Debauchery


  
  Sodom, or the Quintessence of Debauchery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The play Sodom is not known definitively to be the work of John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester.
Determining date of composition and attribution are complicated owing mostly to misattribution of evidence for and against Rochester's authorship in Restoration and later texts.
Whether by Rochester or not, Sodom merits attention not just as an early piece of pornography but also as a disguised satire on the court of Charles II and especially of his apparent willingness to tolerate Catholicism in England at a time when that religion was officially proscribed.
