Rochester was the model for a number of rake heroes in plays of the period, such as Don John in Thomas Shadwell's "The Libertine" (1675) and Dorimant in George Etherege's "The Man of Mode" (1676). Meanwhile he was eulogised by his contemporaries such as Aphra Behn and Andrew Marvell, who described him as "the only man in England that had the true vein of satire". Daniel Defoe quoted him in "Moll Flanders", and discussed him in other works. Voltaire, who spoke of Rochester as "the man of genius, the great poet", admired his satire for its "energy and fire" and translated some lines into French to "display the shining imagination his lordship only could boast".
