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.
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.
