Blurb/Shorttext:
Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Sodom is an obscene Restoration closet drama, published in 1684. The work is thought to be that of John Wilmot, 2nd Earl of Rochester. Determining the date of composition and attribution are complicated owing mostly to misattribution of evidence for and against Rochester's authorship in Restoration and later texts. The play consists of five acts in rhyming couplets. There are two prologues, two epilogues and a short final speech. General Buggeranthos reports that this policy is welcomed by the soldiers, who spend less on prostitutes as a consequence, but has deleterious effects on women of the kingdom who have recourse to "dildoes and dogs".
