Written by Rob Walters, 'Oxford Rogues' takes the reader on a journey through Oxford via the lives of ten roguish males. All but one spent time at the university though not everyone obtained an academic award. The stories are rich in human interest, from the sexual romps and salacious poetry of Lord Rochester to the elopements and romantic poetry of Percy Shelley. From the marriages and drinking of actor Richard Burton, to the expulsion and explorations of his Victorian namesake, Sir Richard Burton. From the trail of whoring and infidelity of author Graham Greene to the double-talk and double-dealings of ex-president Bill Clinton. Published in 2008, the book is a grand overview of human fallibility and achievement. 96 pages, black and white with colour plates.
