Fanny Hill: or, the Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure (1749) is an erotic novel and early work of pornography by English author John Cleland. Written while Cleland was in prison, the novel was both successful and controversial, banned from publication but widely distributed in pirated and heavily edited copies. Fanny Hill: or, the Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure was the subject of numerous court cases, including a prominent United States Supreme Court decision in 1966 which found that the book did not violate obscenity laws.Using extensive euphemism, Cleland¿s novel is the story of Frances ¿Fanny¿ Hill. Narrated in two letters to a friend known only as ¿Madam,¿ the book traces Fanny¿s early life as an orphan-turned-prostitute. After the death of her parents from smallpox, Fanny moves from Lancashire to London to work at a brothel, where she witnesses and participates in numerous sexual acts with women and men of all ages. When her lover Charles is sent abroad, Fanny becomes the mistress of a wealthy merchant who later abandons her. While earning a living working for wealthy clients in a high-end brothel, Fanny witnesses wilder and increasingly dangerous sexual encounters, eventually retiring to a life as the lover of an older intellectual. Recognized as an early and controversial pornographic novel, Fanny Hill: or, the Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure is important for its groundbreaking depictions of queer sex and fetish and continues to be read and studied to this day.With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of John Cleland¿s Fanny Hill: or, the Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure is a classic of pornographic and erotic literature reimagined for modern readers.

Den unge Fannys er glædespige i Londons dekadente og mere dunkle miljø; et miljø af andre glædespiger og bordeller, og hun kommer ud for frivole og barske oplevelser. Bogen er en bramfri førstehåndsberetning – med vid, munterhed og en ikke alt for blufærdig tilgang til tilværelsen fortæller den nittenårige Fanny om sine eskapader. En historie om livsglade unge piger, der tjener til livets ophold ved gladelig at levere varen til mænd, der i dén grad efterspørger den. Samtidig er det en klassisk historie om ægte kærlighed, unge elskende, savn og … tja, afsavn er ikke det rigtige ord.Det blev brevromanen om glædespigen Fanny, der sikrede den engelske forfatter John Cleland (1709-1789) en usvigelig sikker plads i litteraturhistorien. Romanen om Fanny Hill blev oprindelig udgivet i England 1748-49. Skønt bogen senere blev forbudt, og forfatteren røg i fængsel, blev den en enorm læsersucces i samtiden. Den første danske oversættelse af Fannys erindringer kom så sent som i 1965. Men da man – stadig i 1960’ernes midte – forestillede sig, at dette var lige barsk nok kost for de danske læsere, måtte udgivelsen en tur omkring Højesteret, før udgivelsen blev tilladt. Til gengæld blev den danske udgave det litterære startskud til pornografiens frigivelse i 1967. Den nye danske oversættelse af Fanny Hill rammer lige ned i den aktuelle bølge af erotisk litteratur.

I Fanny Hill – mit liv som glædespige følger vi pigen Fanny, som på grund af tragiske omstændigheder forlader det trygge liv på landet til fordel for storbyen London for at søge arbejde. Tidligt mister hun sin mødom til en dreng. Hun bliver indfanget i en beregnende kvindes net, som sælger hende til en mand. Siden kommer hun til et rigtigt bordel, hvor hun arbejder som nydelsens herskerinde. Men hele tiden mangler hun kærligheden – hun oplever kun den seksuelle nydelse – vil hun finde tilbage til sin elskede Charles, som var hendes første elsker, og som hun aldrig glemte?Fanny Hill – mit liv som glædespige betragtes som et af de tidlige erotiske mesterværker. På grund af bogens detaljerede seksuelle beskrivelser og positive holdning til seksuel nydelse udelukkende for fornøjelsens skyld, måtte forfatteren John Cleland igennem flere retssager.

Med Fanny Hill skabte John Cleland et tidligt erotisk værk. Bogens direkte seksuelle sprog og præcise beskrivelser var for voldsomt for perioden, og bogen blev forbudt.Handlingen følger Fannys helt unge liv, hvor hun som knap 15-årig søgte mod London for at finde en plads som tjenestepige. Hun bliver snydt, og kommer til en kvinde, som sælger ydelser til mænd og som vil tjene på at sælge Fannys mødom. Tilfældigvis møder hun Charles på bordellet, og de flygter sammen, før hun overgiver sin mødom til ham. På tragisk vis bliver de to adskilt, og Fanny tvinges ud i et liv som prostitueret, så gennem flere år leverer hun seksuelle ydelser på både bordeller og ved at flytte sammen med mænd. Mens Fanny opfylder mænds forskellige seksuelle præferencer, glemmer hun aldrig sin kærlighed til Charles, der tog hendes mødom, men vil de nogensinde finde hinanden igen…?

The first collected edition of John Cleland's correspondence, this volume provides a rare insight into a significant literary life and into jobbing authorship in the eighteenth century. All known letters by and to Cleland are included entire, alongside letter excerpts, diary entries and documents in which he is discussed by friends, enemies, family members and distant acquaintances. The volume also includes Cleland's christening record, a manuscript essay composed by Cleland in French on 'Litterateurs', and the will of Cleland's mother Lucy, whose many codicils reveal her determination to prevent her profligate son from squandering her fortune. Interspersed throughout are telling remarks about Cleland from figures such as Alexander Pope, Samuel Foote, Claude-Pierre Patu, and, most revealing and intriguing of all, vignettes by the great biographer James Boswell. The volume makes several new attributions and demonstrates for the first time the extent of Cleland's participation in the European Enlightenment.

Classic Erotica. The Memoirs of Fanny Hill: Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure by John Cleland. A new and genuine edition from the original text (London, 1749). Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure (popularly known as Fanny Hill, an anglicisation of the Latin mons veneris, mound of Venus) is an erotic novel by English novelist John Cleland first published in London in 1748. Written while the author was in debtors' prison in London, it is considered "the first original English prose pornography, and the first pornography to use the form of the novel". It is one of the most prosecuted and banned books in history. The novel was published in two instalments, on 21 November 1748 and in February 1749, by Fenton Griffiths and his brother Ralph under the name "G. Fenton". There has been speculation that the novel was at least partly written by 1740, when Cleland was stationed in Bombay as a servant of the British East India Company. Initially, there was no governmental reaction to the novel. However, in November 1749, a year after the first instalment was published, Cleland and Ralph Griffiths were arrested and charged with "corrupting the King's subjects." In court, Cleland renounced the novel and it was officially withdrawn.

The book is written as a series of letters from Frances "Fanny" Hill to an unknown woman, with Fanny justifying her life-choices to this individual. At the beginning of her tale, Fanny Hill is a young girl with a rudimentary education living in a small village near Liverpool. Shortly after she turns 15, both her parents die. Esther Davis, a girl from Fanny's village who has since moved to London, convinces Fanny to move to the city as well, but Esther abandons Fanny once they arrive. Fanny hopes to find work as a maid, and is hired by Mrs. Brown, a woman she believes to be a wealthy lady. Mrs. Brown is in fact a madam (pimp) and intends the innocent Fanny to work for her as a prostitute. Mrs. Brown's associate, Phoebe Ayers, shares a bed with Fanny and introduces her to sexual pleasure. Mrs. Brown plans to sell Fanny's virginity to an ugly old man, but Fanny is repulsed by the man and struggles with him. She is saved from rape by Mrs. Brown's maid. After this ordeal, Fanny falls into a fever for several days. Mrs. Brown, realizing that Fanny's virginity is still intact, decides to sell Fanny's sexual favors to the exceedingly rich Lord B., who is due to arrive in a few weeks.Fanny spies on Mrs. Brown having sex with a large, muscular man. She talks to Phoebe, who assures her that it is possible for a young girl to have sex with a well-endowed man. She takes Fanny to spy on another prostitute, Polly Phillips, having sex with a handsome and well-endowed young Genovese merchant. Afterward, Phoebe and Fanny engage in mutual masturbation and Fanny looks forward to her first time having sex with a man.Soon afterward, Fanny meets Charles, a 19-year-old wealthy nobleman, and they fall in lust instantly. Charles helps Fanny escape the brothel the next day, and takes her to his flat at St. James's, London, and introduces her to his landlady, Mrs. Jones. For many months, Charles visits Fanny almost daily to have sex. Fanny works hard to become more educated and urbane. After eight months, Fanny becomes pregnant. Three months later, Charles mysteriously disappears. Mrs. Jones learns that he has been kidnapped by his father and sent to the South Seas to win a fortune. Upset by the news that Charles will be gone for at least three years, Fanny miscarries and falls ill. She is nursed back to health by Mrs. Jones, but sinks into a deep depression.
