Reviews:

 'A new literature guide for The French Lieutenant's Woman does an outstanding job of summarizing the novel, analyzing various themes, discussing the form and structure of the prose, and offering advice on how to respond to possible examination questions. ... This is a very well designed book that will definitely enhance the reader's understanding of Fowles' great novel.'
