This comprehensive study of A. S. Byatt's work spans virtually her
entire career and offers insightful readings of all of Byatt's
works of fiction up to and including her Man-Booker-shortlisted
novel The Children's Book (2009). The authors combine an accessible
overview of Byatt's oeuvre to date with close critical analysis of
all her major works. Uniquely, the book also considers Byatt's
critical writings and journalism, situating her beyond the
immediate context of her fiction. The authors argue that Byatt is
not only important as a storyteller, but also as an eminent critic
and public intellectual. Advancing the concept of 'critical
storytelling' as a hallmark of Byatt's project as a writer, the
authors retrace Byatt's wide-ranging engagement with both literary
and critical traditions. This results in positioning Byatt in the
wider literary landscape. This book has broad appeal, including
fellow researchers, undergraduate and postgraduate students, plus
general enthusiasts of Byatt's work. -- .
