Cleland, John 1709-1789
Fanny Hill : memoirs of a woman of pleasure / John Cleland - First edition - 176 pages ; 20 cm. - Wordsworth Classics . - Wordsworth Classics .
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, jet in the eighteenth century John Cleland´s open celebration of sexual enjoyment was a best selling nove.
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. The moral outrage that this has always provoked has only recently been countered by serious eritical appraisal.
