Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure

From her position of wealth in her marriage she can at last combine sexual passion with romantic love.

**Fanny Hill**, shrouded in controversy for most of its more than 250-year life, & banned from publication in the USA until 1966, was once considered immoral & without literary merit, even earning its author a jail sentence for obscenity. The tale of a naïve young prostitute in bawdy 18th-century London who slowly rises to respectability, the novel & its popularity endured many bannings & critics, & today **Fanny Hill** is considered an important piece of political parody & sexual philosophy on par with French libertine novels.
