An original study of John Fowles, combining a clear overview of his
work with detailed critical readings and new and challenging
theoretical perspectives. This original study divides John Fowles's
work into three chronological phases, making sense of his
development as a novelist, essayist and thinker. As well as
discussing Fowles in the light of his literary predecessors such as
Hardy, Defoe and Scott, William Stephenson examines the key
biographical influences on Fowles's writing, including his travels
abroad and his experience of the natural world. Through an
examination of Fowles's commitment to individualism and his complex
fictional treatments of sexuality, Stephenson challenges current
critical readings that situate his work in a canon of postmodern
fiction or that question his declared feminism. The study breaks
new ground by exploring the hitherto overlooked role of ethnicity
in Fowles's novels, and his idiosyncratic treatment of the past in
The French Lieutenant's Woman and A Maggot. non-fiction, it
combines the broad sweep of an overview with close readings and
theoretical interpretations of some of the most rewarding passages
in the work of this important storyteller and philosopher.
