"Joining others in the 'Reader's Guide' series for supplemental
literary study is this focus on The French Lieutenant's Woman, a
novel often assigned as a complex modern classic for college-level
audiences. College-level collections will find this an
excellent starting point for classroom debates and discussions of
the novel, offering analysis of key themes, social issues, and
critical points of interest." —Midwest Book Review, March 2008

‘Students will be particularly grateful for this clear and detailed
account of an impressive range of the novel's contexts, its
stylistic aspects, and critical approaches to it, giving help with
reading the novel itself as well as conveniently packaging the
bewildering variety of readers' responses it has elicited. It packs
a lot into its 128 pages.'
