Passions of the Mind Byatt, A.S.
United Kingdom, 20 September 1990 Chatto & Windus 1990 0-7011-3781-9 / 9780701137816 Softcover Good
Product Description Light foxing to top of book. A selection of essays reflecting the varied enthusiasms of A.S.Byatt. It sweeps from great Romanticism and Victorians to modern writers, from the art of Van Gogh to the value of myth. Two major sections trace A.S.Byatt's fascination with the complex links between the symbolic and the real, and her changing views on her own craft of writing. A.S.Byatt's novels include "Shadow of the Sun", "The Game", "The Virgin in the Garden", "Still Life", "Sugar and other Stories" and "Possession: a Romance". From the Inside Flap Whether she is writing about George Eliot or Sylvia Plath; Victorian spiritual malaise or Toni Morrison; mythic strands in the novels of Iris Murdoch and Saul Bellow; politics behind the popularity of Barbara Pym or the ambitions that underlie her own fiction, Byatt manages to be challenging, entertaining, and unflinchingly committed to the alliance of literature and life.

Possession - A Romance Byatt, A. S.
Vintage Books / Random House 1991 0-09-980040-3 / 9780099800408 Paperback Good
"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 sleuth, Maud discovers a love affair between the two Victorian writers the pair has dedicated their lives to studying: Randolph Ash, a literary great long assumed to be a devoted and faithful husband, and Christabel La Motte, a lesser-known "fairy poetess" and chaste spinster. At first, Roland and Maud's discovery threatens only to alter the direction of their research, but as they unearth the truth about the long-forgotten romance, their involvement becomes increasingly urgent and personal. Desperately concealing their purpose from competing researchers, they embark on a journey that pulls each of them from solitude and loneliness, challenges the most basic assumptions they hold about themselves, and uncovers their unique entitlement to the secret of Ash and La Motte's passion.
