John Fowles had gained great popularity as a contemporary novelist
on both sides of the Atlantic. In this comprehensive study of his
work, originally published in 1982, Peter Conradi relates his work
to his life, his ideas and his place in contemporary English
fiction at the time. Conradi sees him as both realist and
experimental, and in detailed analyses of The Magus and The French
Lieutenant's Woman illuminates Fowles's use of literary genres -
the romance (in particular), the detective story, the thriller, the
Victorian novel, the tale of courtly love - to exploit and explode
the conventions of that particular genre. Seduction, erotic quest,
capture and betrayal are among the most important themes in
Fowles's work to be considered here.
