Over recent years, the increasing scope of A. S. Byatt's work as
a writer has fostered a corresponding breadth of academic interest
both in the traditional field of literary criticism and beyond the
discipline among scholars of the natural and social sciences. Most
of this research has been limited to conference papers, interviews,
and articles scattered across a wide variety of journals and has
examined only the most basic critical issues related to Byatt's
writing. This volume provides the first substantive inquiry into
her fiction and spans virtually the entire body of her work.
By advancing multiple and mutually informative theoretical
frameworks for a critical appreciation of Byatt's work as a writer,
this book surveys and furthers the growing critical interest in her
fiction. Contending that Byatt's work renders the boundaries
between criticism and fiction highly permeable, the responses to
her work gathered in this volume purposely blur the demarcation
lines between the different schools of thought currently fighting
for critical supremacy. In doing so, they explore the narrative and
intellectual terrain mapped out by one of Britain's most
imaginative novelists and contribute to current debates on the
contemporary novel in England.
