Items related to Fanny Hill: Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure
She was a homeless orphan of 15, resolved to make her fortune in London. Abandoned by her chaperone, destitute and friendless, the inexperienced country maid was taken in by Madam Brown. And thus began, as she has told us, "...the loose part of my life, wrote with the same liberty that I led it."

From the Inside Flap:
Fanny Hill, shrouded in controversy for most of its more than 250-year life, and banned from publication in the United States until 1966, was once considered immoral and without literary merit, even earning its author a jail sentence for obscenity.
From the Back Cover:
The tale of a naïve young prostitute in bawdy eighteenth-century London who slowly rises to respectability, the novel–and its popularity–endured many bannings and critics, and today Fanny Hill is considered an important piece of political parody and sexual philosophy on par with French libertine novels.
This uncensored version is set from the 1749 edition and includes commentary by Charles Rembar, the lawyer who defended the novel in the 1966 U.S. Supreme Court case, and newly commissioned notes.
"A rare achievement . . . a ray of sunshine in the gloomy world of lust."
--Erica Jong
