Hailed by The New York Times Book Review as |a gifted observer, able to discern the exact details that bring whole worlds into being| and |a storyteller who could keep a sultan on the edge of his throne for a thousand and one nights,| A. S. Byatt writes some of the most engaging and skillful novels of our time. Time magazine calls her |a novelist of dazzling inventiveness.| Possession, for which Byatt won England's prestigious Booker Prize, was praised by critics on both sides of the Atlantic when it was first published in 1990. |On academic rivalry and obsession, Byatt is delicious. On the nature of possession—the lover by the beloved, the biographer by his subject—she is profound,| said The Sunday Times (London). The New Yorker dubbed it |more fun to read than The Name of the Rose . . . Its prankish verve [and] monstrous richness of detail [make for] a one-woman variety show of literary styles and types.| The novel traces a pair of young academics—Roland Michell and Maud Bailey—as they uncover a clandestine love affair between two long-dead Victorian poets. Interwoven in a mesmerizing pastiche are love letters and fairytales, extracts from biographies and scholarly accounts, creating a sensuous and utterly delightful novel of ideas and passions. With an Introduction by the author that describes the novel's origins and its twenty-year gestation, this Modern Library edition is a handsome keepsake for fans of Possession—new and old alike.
