Fanny Hill Or Memoirs Of A Woman Of Plea

So, for two hundred years, Fanny was banned. Her delightfully frank adventures in the brothels and pleasure houses of London were forbidden reading. When attempts were made to introduce her to a wide audience in 1963 she once more aroused horror and was charged with being a threat to marriage and an unhealthy influence on society. But attitudes have changed once more. Fanny Hill is, without question, one of the most sexually explicit novels written in English, and the scenes Cleland describes can be enjoyed with uninhibited pleasure. The book has also been re-evaluated as an elegant and stylish novel, with a good story and a deal of wit.
