SynopsisA highly entertaining biography of the incredible John Wilkes, champion of liberty and irrepressible libertine.

After finishing the last page I turned back to the beginning in order to enjoy it all over again."--Tom Hodgkinson, Independent on Sunday "Informative and enjoyable. . . . So well researched, so full of fascinating detail, . . . so delightfully buoyant." - John Barrell, London Review of Books, A highly entertaining biography of the incredible John Wilkes, champion of liberty and irrepressible libertine.
