What might it mean to recast Anglophone male libertine poetry as a poetics of impairment? As an erotic discourse which foregrounds the sensory body, libertine writing is deeply invested in representations of the erotic body and its pleasures. Yet, the male body that is erotically emplaced in libertine discourse is rarely an able one. From the Earl of Rochester’s self-described cankered and weepy phallus to Charles Churchill’s syphilitic oozing sores to James Boswell’s raging gonorrhea infection, sexual disease imaginatively infects libertine language just as it also, in a more material sense, courses through libertine practices. Taking recent theorizations of debility as its starting point, this article engages with a well-known poem attributed to John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester, “The Maimed Debauchee”, in order to trace how the libertine’s experience of debility registers as a privileged form of erotic embodiment.
把讲英语的男性浪荡子诗歌重新塑造成一种有缺陷的诗学意味着什么?作为一种以感官为中心的情色话语,浪荡写作深深地投入到对情色身体及其快感的表征中。然而,在放荡的话语中被色情地植入的男性身体很少是有能力的。从罗切斯特伯爵(Earl of Rochester)自称的溃疡和哭泣的阴茎,到查尔斯·丘吉尔(Charles Churchill)的梅毒渗出疮,再到詹姆斯·博斯韦尔(James Boswell。本文以最近关于虚弱的理论为出发点,引用了罗切斯特伯爵约翰·威尔莫特的一首著名诗歌《代波基夫人》,以追溯浪荡子的虚弱体验是如何被视为一种特权形式的色情化身的。

“I have been severall months writing near five hundred lines on a pleasant subject, onely to tell what my friends and enemyes will say on me after I am dead.” 1 From Swift’s descriptions of Verses on the Death of Dr, Swift in these or very similar words, over and over in his letters, it is evident that (however later critics may have described the poem) when he himself thought of it as a whole, he thought of it as a poem about friendship and enmity, and as a poem about what people would say of him after he died,2 Despite abundant commentary on the poem’s textual history, its structure, genre, irony, vanity, politics, religious lessons, and multiplication of identities, we still have not paid enough attention to the basic question of what it is about. Some discussions, moreover, have insisted too much upon finding Swift an exemplary poet and moralist. But Ronald Paulson, Marshall Wain grow, and David M. Vieth have spoken of friendship as a topic of the Verses; and I propose, without purporting to rescue the poem from the fascinated uneasiness with which we read it, or to explain away its rhetorical flaws, that a fuller recognition of Swift’s strong emphasis on friendship and enmity would correspondingly benefit our understand ing of the poem’s intended meaning.3 To that end, I seek to show how the poem emphasizes friendship of a particular kind; then, to illuml·
