Of all John Fowles' novels The French Lieutenant's Woman received
the most universal acclaim and today holds a very special place in
the canon of post-war English literature. From the god-like stance
of the nineteenth-century novelist that he both assumes and gently
mocks, to the last detail of dress, idiom and manners, his book is
an immaculate recreation of Victorian England. Not only is it the
epic love story of two people of insight and imagination seeking
escape from the cant and tyranny of their age, The French
Lieutenant's Woman is also a brilliantly sustained allegory of the
decline of the twentieth-century passion for freedom.
