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  Leviathan and includes Behn’s  The Rover, Wycherley’s  The Plain Dealer, Shadwell’s  The Virtuoso, and many other selections—all introduced and annotated by James Jensen.
