Written in a debtors’ prison in 1748 and banned almost continuously for two hundred years: a country girl’s account of her life in London brothels, told in relentlessly euphemistic prose that never once uses a plain word. It reached the US Supreme Court in 1966 and won.

The most famous banned book in English, and a landmark in obscenity law. Download the free EPUB.
