English Restoration writing, known for its skeptical libertinism, addressed social mores, the arts, economics, politics, cynicism, religion, philosophy, and youth, class, and gender. The anthology begins with excerpts from Hobbes’s ĀLeviathan and includes Behn’s ĀThe Rover, Wycherley’s ĀThe Plain Dealer, Shadwell’s ĀThe Virtuoso, and many other selections—all introduced and annotated by James Jensen.
