Aspects of quantum mechanics in the french lieutenant's woman 1969 by John fowles and flight : a quantum fiction novel 1995 by Vanna Bonta

الملخص EN

The revolutionary postmodern novel has a skeptical stance towards the representation of reality within historical narratives Moreover, postmodern authors such as John Fowles create alternative histories in order to depict past events that historical narratives misrepresented while some works fall in the Neo-Victorian genre because they target the Victorian lives.

The postmodern fiction is inspired by aspects of Quantum Mechanics such as multiverses.

The purpose of this article is to evaluate the degree to which John Fowles' The French Lieutenant's Woman (1969), and Vanna Bonta's Flight, a Quantum Fiction Novel (1995) adapt Quantum Mechanics aspects in terms of narrative structure focusing on Alternative Histories.

The protagonists of both novels nearly experience the similar events whereby metafictional elements play a key role in the novel construction
