Description
Published in 1969, ‘The French Lieutenant’s Woman’ is a postmodern historical novel by British author John Fowles. Set in Victorian England, the novel became an international bestseller and was adapted into an acclaimed 1981 film starring Meryl Streep and Jeremy Irons. This particular edition appears to be a Triad Granada paperback printing from the 1980s, identifiable by its distinctive cover featuring the film tie-in imagery.
This book appeals to collectors of modern first editions, film tie-in editions, and readers interested in postmodern literature. Book collectors value different editions of Fowles’ work for their historical significance in 20th-century British literature, while film enthusiasts seek tie-in editions that connect literary and cinematic history. The Triad Granada paperback editions are particularly nostalgic for readers who discovered the novel during the 1980s film release.
