Description

First Edition, Publishers' Original Binding, With Dustwrapper

'The French Lieutenant's Woman' is a 1969 postmodern historical fiction novel which explores the fraught relationship of a gentleman and amateur naturalist, Charles Smithson, and the former governess and independent woman, Sarah Woodruff, with whom Charles falls in love. The novel builds on Fowles' authority in Victorian literature, both following and critiquing many of the conventions of period novels. John Fowles was an English novelist, much influenced by both Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus, and critically positioned between modernism and postmodernism.
