Books with author John Cleland

First published in 1751, Memoirs of a Coxcomb is the second novel by John Cleland, after Fanny Hill or Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, a book that he wrote while in debtor prison and that became one of the most condemned and banned books in history, as the first erotic novel and a precursor to the more recent fifty shade saga. It is a witty depiction of the XVIII century British society that introduced social satire into English literature, a genre fully developed by later authors such as Oscar Wilde.

Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, first published in 1749 and known popularly as Fanny Hill, was one of the most famous novels of the eighteenth century and has been in print ever since. Though not the first erotic novel, Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure has survived as both an illustrative social document and a keenly insightful look into the nature of sexuality.

Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, better known as 'Fanny Hill,' is one of the most notorious texts in English literature. As recently as 1963 an unexpurgated edition was the subject of a trial, yet in the 18th century John Cleland's open celebration of sexual enjoyment was a best selling novel. Fanny's story, as she falls into prostitution and then rises to respectability, takes the form of a confession that is vividly colored by copious and explicit physiological details of her carnal adventures. The moral outrage that this has always provoked has only recently been countered by serious critical appraisal. Cleland's highly entertaining book is a classic of erotica that holds a unique place in English fiction. Complete and unabridged.
