Description
Fanny Hill, published in 1748 and banned for over two centuries, is a provocative novel that has endured as a powerful exploration of politics, philosophy, and human desire. Set against the backdrop of eighteenth-century London, this tale follows the journey of a young prostitute as she navigates the complexities of respectability and morality. This edition features an uncensored version from the 1749 edition, accompanied by commentary from Charles Rembar, who defended the novel in the landmark 1966 US Supreme Court case. Newly commissioned notes add further insight into this complex and often misunderstood work.
