Restoration England Charles II, the arts and pornography
Presents the role of sex in Restoration England. In 1660 the libertine, Charles the II, was restored to the throne and a reaction to two decades of Puritanism followed.
"Charles II was a libertine, rake, roue, and the model of sexual excess for his countrymen. This program shows some of the excesses of this period, sometimes executed with great artistry, more often not. Regardless, the role of sex in Restoration England cannot be downplayed - politically, because it was the king who created and dominated the style, and artistically, because this was the way station between the lofty Metaphysical poets and the loftier Age of Reason."
