Fanny Hill, one of the most celebrated classic novels of libertine literature, tells the story of a young and naive girl from the provinces who, seeking fortune in London, finds herself immersed in the world of prostitution. Under the tutelage of Mrs. Brown, she learns about lesbian love and the art of pleasing men. Despite the initial challenges, Fanny adapts and rises socially, enjoying pleasure and finding love in Charles. This erotic work of the Age of Enlightenment, published in 1749, influenced the genre and was the first novel banned in the United States in 1819.
John Cleland was an English novelist best known for his fictional Fanny Hill: or, the Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, whose eroticism led to his arrest. James Boswell called him "a sly, old malcontent".
