Tungkol sa may-akda
John Cleland (1709–1789) was an English novelist most renowned for his controversial novel 'Memoirs of Fanny Hill', published in 1748. The book, also known as 'Fanny Hill', is one of the most prosecuted and banned books in history due to its explicit descriptions of female sexual experience. Despite the profanity associated with it, 'Fanny Hill' is considered a seminal work in the genre of erotic literature and has been analyzed for its unique narrative style and socio-historical context. Born to a British naval officer in Kingston upon Thames, Cleland led a tumultuous life, which included a period in the East India Company and an unfortunate stint in debtors' prison. It was during his imprisonment that Cleland completed 'Memoirs of Fanny Hill', likely motivated by a need for income. Cleland's literary style is characterized by a blend of satirical wit and elaborate, almost poetical prose. His work provides a unique glimpse into the sexual mores and class distinctions of 18th century England. Despite the notoriety of 'Fanny Hill', Cleland's subsequent works never achieved similar fame, and he spent much of his career grappling with financial constraints and censorship. Nonetheless, his landmark novel continues to be studied and has secured his place within the canon of English literature.
