John Fowles Summary

(born March 31, 1926, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, Eng.—died Nov. 5, 2005, Lyme Regis, Dorset) British novelist.

His richly allusive and descriptive works combine psychological probings—chiefly of sex and love—with an interest in the social and philosophical context of human behaviour. His first novel, The Collector (1963; film, 1965), about a shy man who kidnaps a girl in a hapless search for love, was followed by The Magus (1965; film, 1968) and The French Lieutenant's Woman (1969; film, 1981), his most famous work, set in Victorian England. Later works include the novella collection The Ebony Tower (1974; film made for television, 1984), Daniel Martin (1977), and A Maggot (1985).

This is the complete article, containing 107 words (approx. 1 page at 300 words per page).
