Fanny Hill is an erotic novel who scandalised thousands of Victorians with its vivid descriptions of sexual pleasure yet this only heightened its allure - and today is appreciated as a true erotic classic.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 prosecuted and banned books in history. The book exemplifies the use of euphemism. The text has no "dirty words" or explicit scientific terms for body parts, but uses many literary devices to describe genitalia. For example, the vagina is sometimes referred to as "the nethermouth," which is also an example of psychological displacement.
