Introduction

Pornography today is such a massive industry which so many of us have been exposed to in some way or another. The novel that we are going to be looking at today was one of the very first attempts to write smart pornography. John Cleveland's memoirs of a woman of pleasure, otherwise known as Fanny Hill, is now considered one of the first erotic novels. On the day that it was first published, there was an earthquake that shook all of London.
