This book provides innovative readings of the key texts of A.S. Byatt's oeuvre by analysing the negotiations of individual identity, cultural memory, and literature which inform Byatt's novels.

Recenzii

'Steveker's monograph combines a brilliant capacity for minute descriptions of highly complex theories with a talent for sophisticated criticism.' - ZAA
'...aptly captures Byatt's unique blend of energentic storytelling and astute intellectualism, and with it the essentially hermeneutic model of the reading and writing imagination that informs much, perhaps all of Byatt's writerly output.' - English Studies
