John Fowles gained international recognition in 1963 with his first published novel, The Collector , but his labor on what may be his greatest literary undertaking, his journals, commenced over a decade earlier. Fowles, whose works include The Maggot , The French Lieutenant's Woman , and The Ebony Tower , is among the most inventive and influential English novelists of the twentieth century. The first volume begins in 1949 with Fowles' final year at Oxford. It reveals his intellectual maturation, chronicling his experiences as a university lecturer in France and as a schoolteacher on the Greek island of Spetsai. The second and final volume opens in 1966, as Fowles, already an international success, navigates his newfound fame and wealth.
