Fanny Hill: Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure

Editorial Reviews
Book Description
John Cleland's sexy classic -- available now after centuries of banning. Delightful, steamy, and enduring.

The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature
Notorious erotic novel by John Cleland, first published in two volumes in 1748-49 as Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure. The novel, published in an expurgated version as Memoirs of Fanny Hill in 1750 and commonly known simply as Fanny Hill, chronicles the life of a London prostitute, describing with scatological and clinical precision many varieties of sexual behavior. Although elegantly written, the novel was suppressed from its initial publication. It was kept in print surreptitiously, however, and for almost two centuries Fanny Hill enjoyed a salacious reputation. The book was not published legally until 1963 in the United States and 1970 in England. --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
