Book Description
Over recent years, the increasing scope of A. S. Byatt's work as a writer has fostered a corresponding breadth of academic interest. Spanning almost the entire body of her work and enlisting an international array of contributors, the volume characterizes the richly complex intersections between fiction and critical thought that inform Byatt's storytelling. As the first substantive collection of Byatt criticism to date, this book presents an important contribution to broader debates on the contemporary novel.
