Description

After the death of her parents compels her to seek her fortune in London, Fanny Hill is deceived into prostitution by an elderly madam. In Mrs. Brown's brothel, the innocent young woman begins her sexual journey, evolving from innocence to curiosity and desire. She soon starts to follow her own path in the pursuit of pleasure until she ultimately finds true love. John Cleland's tale of Fanny's rise to respectability was condemned after its publication by the Bishop of London as 'an open insult upon Religion and good manners', while James Boswell described it as 'a most licentious and inflaming book'. Despite its vivid and entertaining depictions of a wide range of sexual acts, Fanny Hill is recognized as one of the great works of eighteenth-century fiction for its unique blend of parody, erotica, and a philosophy of sensuality.
