One of my favourite authors and I love this book. I read it a while ago in Russian and definitely need to reread. What an amazing ending (or rather endings :))

Really enjoyed your review. I have never heard a "tuber" discuss this book. I have read The Magus 4 times w/a decade between each reading. Now I feel I ought to re read The French Lieutenant 's again. It has been 40 yrs ago for me. Thank you.

I didn't like the book. But I have it in my syllabus. After listening to your review, I think I'll try re-reading it without the exam constraints. Beautiful presentation ♡

An interesting review. I loved "The French Lieutenant's Woman", I read it back in the nineties. I also loved "The Collector" by John Fowles. I even visited the town of Lyme Regis as a result of reading these novels.

The French Lieutenant's Woman is a work of metafiction. Metafiction is basically "fiction about fiction". These works tend to discuss the manner in which a particular literary work from one particular age or genre is supposed to progress. John Fowles' attempt was to create a novel in the manner of Victorian novels only to point out what is right and what is not completely right with the works of that age.

Yes, I've read To the Lighthouse, Orlando and Mrs. Dalloway. I am looking for postomern literature treating an old subject from a different perspective, where the narrator speaks directly to the readers, asks them questions and so on.

@@SophiaClef ah i see, maybe DFW's The Pale King? and there is of course Vonnegut's S-5 but that doesn't really conduct a dialogue with the reader although it does break the fourth wall. interested to see what you come up with!

I think the point of this novel comes down to ironic and funny title. I think its a story about using deconstruction of classic Victorian romantic novel as a mean to deconstruct gender roles and through it some universal truth comes out. Was the author aware of it or not is kind of irrelevant. If his point was tied in 20c morality pointing fingers, then he was wrong as people he was mocking, his work carries a truth of itself be he aware of it or not. And those are (in my humble opinion) that the more things change, the more they stay the same as our wrong preconceptions of them. Like idea of men and women being a stereotype of its time. There were always and will always be Sarah and Charles and we will always see them as tropes instead of what they are. So I laugh when I read this is considered by many "a feminist" novel...whatever that might be.
