Byatt, A S On Histories and Stories
VINTAGE November 1, 200 0-09-928383-2 / 9780099283836 Paperback Very Good+
In recent years many novelists have become increasingly interested in histo ry as fiction and fiction as history. In her powerful opening essays - "Fat her," "Forefathers" and "Ancestors" - A.S. Byatt considers the renaissance of the historical novel. She discusses particularly the novel of wartime ex perience; the surprising variety of distant pasts that British writers have invented; and the new "Darwinian novel," stimulated in part by the discove ry of DNA. These afford new readings of writers from Elizabeth Bowen and He nry Greene to Anthony Burgess, William Golding and Muriel Spark, and other contemporary authors, including Penelope Fitzgerald, Julian Barnes, Martin Amis, John Fuller, Hilary Mantel and Pat Barker.

Byatt, A.S. Possession
Vintage 4 Jul 2002 0-09-943343-5 / 9780099433439 Paperback Near Fine
"Literary critics make natural detectives", says Maud Bailey, heroine of a mystery where the clues lurk in university libraries, old letters and dusty journals. Together with Roland Michell, a fellow academic and accidental s leuth, Maud discovers a love affair between the two Victorian writers the p air has dedicated their lives to studying: Randolph Ash, a literary great l ong assumed to be a devoted and faithful husband, and Christabel La Motte, a lesser- known "fairy poetess" and chaste spinster. At first, Roland and M aud's discovery threatens only to alter the direction of their research, bu t as they unearth the truth about the long- forgotten romance, their involv ement becomes increasingly urgent and personal. Desperately concealing thei r purpose from competing researchers, they embark on a journey that pulls e ach of them from solitude and loneliness, challenges the most basic assumpt ions they hold about themselves, and uncovers their unique entitlement to t he secret of Ash and La Motte's passion.
