Zhang Jiaojiao (College ofForeign Language, Qufu Normal University, Qufu 273165,China)

Abstract: John Fowles’ The French Lieutenant's Woman accommodates real historical characters and events of the Victorian period in a fictional narrative. This paper analyzes the novel from the perspective of new historicism.The characteristics of the historical writing are presented in the following three aspects: Firstly, the novel is based on real history,echoing“History” through accurate places and time, ingenious details,and the repeated repetition ofthe keyword “era"; At the same time,the novel focuses on the ordinary people in the“histories” and shows the life of individual characters,especially women in the Victorian period, through the thick description of unknown materials; In the interweaving of reality and fiction,the novel reflectson the exploitation ofcapital,the pedantic thinking of the characters and the “machine-like” era through intrusive naration,and rebels against the traditional omniscient narrative and the traditional single ending, presenting the distinctive characteristics of anti-traditional writing.
