Über den Autor


John Cleland (b. 1709 - 1789) was born in Kingston upon Thames but grew up in London, where his father was an officer in the British Army. He entered Westminster School in 1721, but he left or was expelled in 1723. He entered the British India Company and lived in Bombay from 1728 to 1740. In 1748, he was arrested for a debt and committed to Fleet Prison, where he remained over a year. It was allegedly while he was in prison that he finalised the manuscript of Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure. The public release of this novel got him arrested shortly afterwards, and he was obliged to disavow his own work in court, stating that he could only wish the book be buried and forgot. He eventually became a hired author and wrote several other novels and plays. Cleland died unmarried and was buried in St. Margaret's churchyard in London. His obituary in the Monthly Review said that he had been granted a government annuity to prevent his writing further obscenity for pay.
