Fanny Hill（芬妮·希尔）

Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, popularly known as Fanny Hill, is a novel by John Cleland.

Written in 1748 while Cleland was in debtor's prison in London, it is considered the first modern "erotic novel" in English, and has become a byword for the battle of censorship of erotica.

约翰·克雷蓝（John Cleland，1709-1789）：英国人，因债务而关进伦敦监狱，却促成他写出这部《芬妮·希尔》。克雷蓝博学的文采令他完全不使用一个猥亵或禁忌的字眼，完成这部脍炙人口的情色小说。但是1749年出版时引起英国教会轩然大波，严厉指责《芬妮希尔》将让国王和子民们堕落腐败，令克雷蓝再次锒铛入狱。而本书从此成为官方机构审查情色尺度的标准。
