Banned from publication in the United States until 1966 for its assumed obscenity, immorality, and lack of literary merit, Fanny Hill, or Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure (1749), is a novel considered to be the first original English prose erotica. \nThis is the tale of the titular Fanny Hill, told to us in her own letters with \u201Cstark naked truth.\u201D Young, orphaned, and na\u00EFve, she recounts her early days of prostitution in bawdy eighteenth-century London and her dramatic rise to respectability. \nAn important work of political, social, and sexual parody and philosophy, the author himself was imprisoned at the time of publication for his depictions of sexual \u201Cdeviance\u201D as an act of pleasure rather than simply shameful. Fanny Hill deserves its place in continued publication not only for its role\n\nFanny Hill\nOr, Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure\nFree UK delivery on this item.\n\nThis brand new item is available with free UK delivery using Royal Mail tracked servic;
