Fanny Hill: Memoirs Of A Woman of Pleasure/John Cleland

Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, better known as Fanny Hill, is one of the most notorious
texts in English literature. As recently as 1963 an unexpurgated edition was the
subject of a trial, yet in the eighteenth century John Cleland's open celebration
of sexual enjoyment was a best selling novel. Fanny's story, as she falls into prostitution
and then rises to respectability, takes the form of a confession that is vividly
coloured by copious and explicit physiological details of her carnal adventures.
