Cleland, John, 1709–87, English novelist. His Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure (1750), commonly known as Fanny Hill, was an immediate popular success; the novel's notoriety led to a number of official efforts to ban it over the next two centuries. Traditionally considered the first great pornographic work in English, it is now linked to the works of Richardson and Fielding as a typical mid-18th cent. British novel.

Today the myth makers are right wing Republicans and neoconservatives who have gone so far as to recruit into their service a small but vocal group of Vietnam veterans who have become collaborators and co-conspirators willing to defame the integrity and honor of decorated war heroes like Max Cleland, John Kerry, and John McCain. |
