Reader's note

Fanny Hill is a notorious classic as it is one of the first erotic novels in the English language. Its controversial publications have been causing scandal for over 250 years. The novel was banned in the U.K. and the U.S.A until after the Second World War and was banned in Singapore until 2015. Framed as two letters written by Frances “Fanny” Hill to an unnamed “Madam,” the novel recounts the fictional Fanny’s experience as a prostitute starting at age 15. From the beginning, the novel was controversial for its erotic content. Even though coarse words are never used, little is left to the imagination. It was likely this aspect of the book, not Fanny’s tender age, that motivated British officials to arrest Cleland and his publisher in 1749 for “corrupting the King’s subjects.” This is a unique book with its own turbulent history means it can shock some of the more tender audience but it is not an evil book and it offers a vivid social picture of that time period.
