John Fowles had gained great popularity as a contemporary novelist on both sides of the Atlantic. In this comprehensive study of his work, originally published in 1982, Peter Conradi relates his work to his life, his ideas and his place in contemporary English fiction at the time.

Seduction, erotic quest, capture and betrayal are among the most important themes in Fowles's work to be considered here.
