ANALYSIS OF THE COLLECTOR NOVEL

Introduction

1 .bibliography

John Robert Fowles was born March 31, 1926 in Leigh on Sea, a small town located about 40 miles from London in the county of Essex, England. He recalls the English suburban culture of the 1930s as oppressively conformist and his family life as intensely conventional. Of his childhood, Fowles says "I have tried to escape ever since."

Fowles attended Bedford School, a large boarding school designed to prepare boys for university, from ages 13 to 18. After briefly attending the University of Edinburgh, Fowles began compulsory military service in 1945 with training at Dart moor, where he spent the next two years. World War II ended shortly after his training began so Fowles never came near combat, and by1947 he had decided that the military life was not for him.Fowles then spent four years at Oxford, where he discovered the writings of the French existentialists. In particular he admired Albert Camus and Jean Paul Sartre, whose writings corresponded with his own ideas about conformity and the will of the individual. He received a degree in French in 1950 and began to consider a career as a writer. John Fowles died on November 5, 2005 after a long illness

 John Fowles is a well known British author (1926 – 2005) who has dedicated his life to the world of literature. His first novel, The Collector published in 1963, has been reprinted several times and has been translated into many languages, thus proving that Fowles’s early works are still of interest to the public. In late 1960 Fowles completed the first draft of The Collector in just four weeks. He continued to revise it until the summer of 1962, when he submitted it to a publisher it appeared in the spring of 1963 and was an immediate best seller. The critical acclaim and commercial success of the book allowed Fowles to devote all of his time to writing.
