Lothario’s Corpse explores the persistent appeal of Restoration libertine drama (and its absolutist heroes and scenarios of lawless license) in the century following its supposed disappearance from the British stage. Tracing the stage libertine’s haunting of post-1688 culture, Gustafson illustrates how its literary and political manifestations document a fantasy of sovereign power at the heart of the emergent liberal imagination.
