L'oeuvre de John Cleland: Mémoires de Fanny Hill, femme de plaisir by John Cleland
"L'oeuvre de John Cleland: Mémoires de Fanny Hill, femme de plaisir" by John Cleland is an erotic novel first published in London in 1748 and 1749. Written while Cleland was imprisoned for debt, it follows the experiences of a woman of pleasure through elaborate euphemisms and literary devices, avoiding explicit terminology. Considered the first original English prose pornography in novel form, it became one of history's most prosecuted books, sparking obscenity trials
across centuries in Britain and America before landmark court rulings eventually permitted its publication. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
