Memoirs of Fanny Hill by John Cleland - An erotic paradise in a sea of prim and proper classics
Beautifully written and with unfiltered detail, the Memoirs of Fanny Hill enjoyed prolonged underground success in both Great Britain and the United States as what is condisered the first English-language work of erotica. Readers of classics accustomed to vague and mysteriously worded romantic encounters will be delightfully stimulated by innumerable eye-popping sex scenes in this infamous novel. The graphic detail and frequent delight in physical pleasures expressed by the characters make for a unique reading experience amid the lavish writing style of the 18th century.
First penned in 1748 by John Cleland while serving in an English debtors' prison, his erotic novel no doubt relieved the aching loneliness of his incarceration. The subsequent publication of Fanny Hill brought inevitable banning for obscenity that was not overturned until court cases in the 1960s and 1970s. But obscenity laws in both Great Britain and the United States did little to subdue public passion for the forbidden ecstacies of this erotic novel. Always in print on the underground market, Fanny Hill in its various forms no doubt instructed countless men and women about the workings and pleasures of their sexuality during a time when little to no information was sanctioned on the subject.
Cleland's fictional memoirs open when the newly orphaned teenage Fanny Hill moves from the country to the big city in search of domestic employment. Possessing good looks, Fanny is swiftly lured by a Madame into a brothel where the erotic adventures begin. Fanny is ripened to her sexuality by nightly beddings by an older prostitute to prepare her for entertaining men. This erotic story is not without love for Fanny soon indulges in her own love affair, but as the story progresses, she must work her way through more men in order to survive.
