Fanny Hill (Annotated)

Differentiated book- It has a historical context with research of the time-Fanny Hill by John Cleland. This book contains a historical context, where past events or the study and narration of these events are examined. The historical context refers to the circumstances and incidents surrounding an event. This context is formed by everything that, in some way, influences the event when it happens. A fact is always tied to its time: that is, to its time. Therefore, when analyzing events that took place tens, hundreds or thousands of years ago, it is essential to know the historical context to understand them. Otherwise, we would be analyzing and judging what happened in a totally different era with a current perspective. Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, popularly known as Fanny Hill (possibly an anglicization of the Latin mons veneris, mound of Venus), is an erotic novel by the English novelist John Cleland, first published in London in 1748. Written while the author was at the London Debtors Prison, it is considered "the first original English prose pornography, and the first pornography to use the form of the novel." It is one of the most processed and prohibited books in history. The book exemplifies the use of the euphemism
