Description

Research Paper (undergraduate) from the year 2012 in the subject Didactics - English - Literature, Works, University of Burdwan, course: MA, language: English, abstract: John Fowles' The French Lieutenant's Woman (1969), a Victorian novel with 20th century outlook, is a wonder of contemporary fiction where Fowles has introduced novel techniques of experimentation and versatility of style making it a postmodern text. Fowles has woven in his oeuvre novel techniques like epigraphs, intertextual echoes, authorial digressions, intrusions etc through which the conflict between the Victorian and the Modern world is dexterously given expression. The present paper proposes to establish a link between the text and the epigraphs, and show thereby their interplay.
