Part Of The Big Read

Set in 1867 England but written with twentieth-century foresight, John Fowles' The French Lieutenant's Woman (1969) is a postmodern masterpiece that reinvents and deconstructs the Victorian novel.

In 1981, The French Lieutenant's Woman (starring Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons) was adapted for the screen by Harold Pinter. The talk will discuss both the novel and the film adaptation.
