Lyme Regis Literary Links:
Famously depicted in the film version of John Fowles The French Lieutenant’s Woman and Jane Austen’s Persuasion, the resort’s unique appeal wins her a deserved accolade as the Pearl of the Dorset coast – a gem in the West country’s holiday playground.
Whilst the town as a whole is the scene of one of Persuasion’s most important passages, it is, however, the town’s instantly recognisable harbour wall – known as The Cobb – which can claim to be Lyme Regis’s most significant literary location. In Fowles’ classic novel, it is the place where the story’s heroine, Sarah Woodruff, spends all of her spare time, looking out over the wall to the wild sea beyond. The Cobb was not forgotten in the BAFTA and Golden Globe-winning film adaptation, either, even featuring with star Meryl Streep on the movie’s promotional poster.
