Memoirs Of A Coxcomb

This novel, the lesser-known companion to Clelands infamous Memoirs of a Woman of Pleasure, is an intriguing and accessible alternative to more familiar eighteenth-century novels. John Clelands second novel has long been overshadowed by the notoriety of his first, which caused him to be prosecuted and briefly imprisoned for obscenity. Witty and complex, with erotic elements, it is also a sophisticated comedy of manners that questions eighteenth-century ideas of masculinity and femininity.Cleland, John is the author of 'Memoirs Of A Coxcomb ', published 2005 under ISBN 9781551115689 and ISBN 1551115689.
