Career:

After graduating Fowles taught English for several years at such institutions as the University of Poitiers, France,and at Anargyrios College, Greece. Finally between 1854 and 1863, he taught English at St. Godric's College in London, where he ultimately served as department head. Between 1952 and 1960, he wrote several novels, but offered none to a publisher, considering them all incomplete in some ways and too lenthy.
