Description
A. S. Byatt's novel Possession is an intellectual mystery and love story that follows two young academics as they research the lives of Victorian poets Randolph Henry Ash and Christabel LaMotte. As they uncover hints of a long-buried secret in the poets' letters and journals, their investigation takes them from London to Yorkshire to Brittany, tracing clues embedded in poems and hunting down evidence in dusty archives. Their pursuit of truth draws the two scholars together, but what they discover will have far-reaching implications. Byatt's novel is woven with invented historical documents and poetry of great richness and depth, bringing her Victorian characters vividly to life. A gripping story and a brilliant exploration of love and obsession, Possession is a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of knowledge and the past. Introduction by Philip Hensher. Hardcover, 568 pages.
