This exposé of a notorious 18th-century pornographic work reveals the author's blasphemous and sexually explicit content. Originally attributed to libertine philosopher the Earl of Rochester, the Essay on Woman and other poems were deemed too obscene for publication and were only made available in underground and pirated editions.
