One character is nearly violated for singing a John Dowland song to clerics at Christ's College before he seduces Isaac Newton and is nearly raped by him. Carl recounts the rape of 1600 Mecca-bound travelers, while the protagonist sails on Tom Pound's ship, where the pirate crew rapes the passengers of the Cyprian. The main character is inspired to leave for the new world after he receives a commission naming him "Poet Laureate of the Province," a document that later turns out to have been written by his friend Henry Burlingame III. Ultimately, the protagonist decides to lose his virginity to a certain woman only to find out that she's Joan Toast, the same woman who'd inspired him to write his first verses in London. He finally has sex with her to save his father's Maryland estate, Malden. For ten points, name this bawdy novel, named for an epic satire by Ebenezer Cooke and written by John Barth.
