16. The Illustrated Fanny Hill: Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure

New York: Erotic Art Book Society, 1978. VG+/Fair Cover bright, minor shelf:edge/corner wear, chips rubs to extremities Pages clean tight bright Dust Jacket bright (in Brodart cover) worn w/lt soil, some spots, creases, tape repaired tears , chips rubs From The Merriam-Webster Encyclopedia of Literature: Notorious erotic novel by John Cleland, first published in two volumes in 1748-49 as Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure. The novel, published in an expurgated version as Memoirs of Fanny Hill in 1750 and commonly known simply as Fanny Hill, chronicles the life of a London prostitute, describing with scatological and clinical precision many varieties of sexual behavior. Although elegantly written, the novel was suppressed from its initial publication. It was kept in print surreptitiously, however, and for almost two centuries Fanny Hill enjoyed a salacious reputation. The book was not published legally until 1963 in the United States and 1970 in England.. NE Plus Ultra Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/Fair. Illus. by Blum, Zevi . Folio - over 12" - 15" tall.
