John Fowles, best known as the author of "The French
Lieutenant's Woman," has also written numerous other works--fiction
as well as nonfiction. This unique reference book by James R.
Aubrey lists all of Fowles's writings for the first time. It also
provides a detailed biography, criticism of his work from the
perspective of various disciplines, explanatory notes, a census of
characters, and a comprehensive bibliography.
Aubrey begins with a biography of Fowles, based on information
from his writings, published and personal interviews, and
correspondence. This section also includes several photographs. The
next section discusses Fowles's lesser-known nonfiction work by
genre--philosophy, autobiography, biography, translations, book
reviews, literary and visual-art criticism, history, and social
commentary. Aubrey then pulls together the fiction of John Fowles
in the order it was published. For each novel or short story Aubrey
provides a description of the circumstances and process of
composition, summarization, discussion of its public reception, and
critiques of the film, television, or stage adaptations. Critical
approaches to Fowles's fiction are covered next: biographical,
psychological, post-structuralist, historicist, feminist,
reader-response, and formalist. The notes, census of characters,
and extensive bibliography complete this reference companion.
Aubrey's book will be useful for those studying Fowles and his
work, and will be an excellent addition to public and academic
libraries.
