Best seller Trench Lieutenant's Woman1 is fascinating'
Una Freeman, and the uae char-
Sarah Woodruff, could all
ome from the pages of the
novel Thomas Hardy didn't write,
except for a few small but brilliant original touches by Fowles.
It ls the modern and the old in a
fascinating new literary combi-
The plot ls deceptively simple.
A young gentleman,helrtoatttle,
and the daughter of .a nouveau
but very rich London merchant
are engaged to be married and
spending the summer before their
wedding at Miss Freeman's country home. Each represents a coup
for the other. She stands to get
his title ln their marriage, and
he her money. Mercenary, but not
too mercenary, and still within
the bounds, albelt'near the limits,
of Victorian sensibilities. To this
almost perfectly ordinary duet ls
Miss Woodruff, the French
man or'tragedy*,
a provincial girl burdened by too
much Intelligence and education
and too little money in an age
when the former were of no use .
without the latter. First seen
standing on the beach at Lyme
Regis staring out to sea, a town
legend, she ls said to have fallen
in love with a French lieutenant
he was convalescing ln the
where she served as gover-
i. But this was not the end of
her sin for she followed this soldier to a nearby town and spent
the night with him ln a hotel. He
promrsed to return and marry
her, said the town gossips, but
didn't, and now she stood by the
sea,  waiting - broken-hearted.
She ls certainly tragic, both ln
attitude and situation since economic necessity forceshertoac-
cept a position among the household staff of the most evil and
hypocritical of the towns many
allegedly-Christian  dragons.
Republicans meet
The Fresno State College chapter of the California College Re-
pubUcans will meet tonight to
nominate and elect officers for
the spring semester.
The meeting ls scheduled to
begin at 7:30 ln Room 304 of the
Mrs. Poleteney. But the real
sources of her tragedy may not
be the soldier at all, but rather
one or more of many things. This
ls one of the mysteries of this
fascinating book.
Sarah Woodruff, of course,
comes to Interfere with the almost perfectly ordinary happiness of Charles and ErnesUna,
and It ls no small tribute to Mr.
Fowles' sldll that he carries It
off so well. To one accustomed
to the more fantastic plots of
Mr. Fowles' other works, such a
scheme - a triangle, two of
whose members are hardly even
Interesting, much less compelling - ls difficult to accept, but
this simple plot gains a masterful complexity from small but
painstakingly   arranged details;
Chess club
There will be a meeting to reorganize the FresnoState CoUege
Chess Club tonight (Wednesday,
March 11th), ln the College Union
banquet room, next to the Coffee
The ending (there are actually
three distinct endings) Is Its
most outstanding feature. Freedom versus convention in life and
ln art Is one of Fowles' major
themes. Just as he examines this
conflict ln the lives of his characters so does he examine It In bis
art. Refusing to Impose convention on his work, be insists on
treating his characters as living
people — ' people who are not
merely models but people whom
he has spied on ln train compartments and through the windows
of London houses. Like a movie
actor who turns suddenly to speak
directly into the camera, Fowles
tells lis that he cannot play God
said, 'We hope to
reestablish the Chess Club on
campus, and the meeUng will be
open toall Interested students and
facutly ofthe college.*
The meeting will start at 7:30

no veils I did, but must let them act
out their own movements and develop their own characters.
Fowles Introduces all the mental,
emotional and Intellectual possibilities his Intrigue presents ln
both the modern and the Victorian
contexts and then leaves it to the
reader to sort Hiem out and digest them. Nb more should be
said here to forewarn the reader
about these mysteries for they
offer a simple surprise and delight ln discovery beyond their
literary value.
Fowles Is remarkable also for
his unique gift for tbe language.
He reminds us of a lesson we
are wont to forget here ln tbe
colonies - that great magic can
be wrought with a large and precise vocabulary* Furthermore,
he Introduces each chapter with
UtUe known passages from Victorian prose snd poetry, and tar
from seeming fatuous as these
chapter leads usually dp, they are
delicious clues to the material
that follows.
Finally, one can only hope that
this wonderful work will be left
ln the beautifully designed book
from Little, Brown (S8.90) and not
be turned over to the butchers
In Hollywood to be made Into a
movie as dreadful as the one
made from 'The Magus."
