Cleland's critics too condemned the 'infamous and 'poisonous novel when it first appeared in 1748 - 9. But the proliferation of editions adaptations and translations since then bears witness not only to the popularity of scandalous novels but also to the book's literary merit. Recounted with a lively use of metaphor and some curiously moral asides Fanny Hill's boisterous education as a London prostitute never quite effaces the ingenuous charm of her country upbringing and her story places her among the great heroines of eighteenth - century literature.
