Byatt, A. S. (Antonia Susan)
Angels & Insects: Two Novellas
New York Vintage Books; Vintage International 1994 0679751343 / 9780679751342 Trade Paperback Very Good Movie Tie-in
337 pp., illus.; 21 cm. Tight, clean copy. Two leaves creased. "In these breathtaking novellas, A.S. Byatt returns to the territory she explored in Possession: the landscape of Victorian England, where science and spiritualism are both popular manias, and domestic decorum coexists with brutality and perversion. Angels and Insects is "delicate and confidently ironic.... Byatt perfectly blends laughter and sympathy [with] extraordinary sensuality" (San Francisco Examiner). / A.S. Byatt is the author of the novels Possession (winner of the Booker Prize in 1990), The Game, and the sequence The Virgin in the Garden, Still Life, and Babel Tower. She has also written two novellas, published together as Angels and Insects, and four collections of shorter works, including The Matisse Stories and The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye. Educated at Cambridge, she was a senior lecturer in English at University College, London, before becoming a full-time writer in 1983. A distinguished critic as well as a novelist, she lives in London." - Publisher.

Byatt, A. S.
Possession: A Romance
New York Modern Library 2001 0679642382 / 9780679642381 First edition thus Hard Cover Fine Fine Movie Tie-in
Cloth, gilt, xv, 605 pp.; 19 cm. Tight, clean copy. Dust jacket protected in a mylar book cover. "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. / A. S. Byatt is the author of The Biographer's Tale, Elementals, and the Booker Prize-winning novel Possession, among other books. She lives in London." - Publisher.

Byatt, A. S. (Antonia Susan)
The Matisse Stories
New York Vintage Books; Vintage International Ser. 1996 067976223X / 9780679762232 First paperback edition Trade Paperback Very Good
128 pp.; 21 cm. Near fine. Tight, clean copy. Light shelfwear to wraps. 3 stories inspired by Matisse paintings. "These three stories celebrate the eye even as they reveal its unexpected proximity to the heart. For if each of A.S. Byatt's narratives is in some way inspired by a painting of Henri Matisse, each is also about the intimate connection between seeing and feeling--about the ways in which a glance we meant to be casual may suddenly call forth the deepest reserves of our being. Beautifully written, intensely observed, The Matisse Stories is fiction of spellbinding authority. / A. S. Byatt is the author of numerous novels, including A Whistling Woman and Possession, which was awarded the Booker Prize in 1990. She has also written two novellas, published together as Angels and Insects, four previous collections of shorter works, and several works of nonfiction. Educated at Cambridge, she was a senior lecturer in English at University College London. She lives in London." - Publisher.

Eliot, George; Byatt, A. S. (Edited by)
The Mill on the Floss
Harmondsworth Penguin Books; Penguin Classics 2003 0141439629 / 9780141439624 First edition thus Trade Paperback Very Good
xlviii, 579 pp., bib. notes; 20 cm. First published, 1880. Firm binding, clean inside copy. Moderate edgewear to wraps. Age toning. "Brought up at Dorlcote Mill, Maggie Tulliver worships her brother Tom and is desperate to win the approval of her parents, but her passionate, wayward nature and her fierce intelligence bring her into constant conflict with her family. As she reaches adulthood, the clash between their expectations and her desires is painfully played out as she finds herself torn between her relationships with three very different men: her proud and stubborn brother, a close friend who is also the son of her family's worst enemy, and a charismatic but dangerous suitor. With its poignant portrayal of sibling relationships, The Mill on the Floss is considered George Eliot's most autobiographical novel; it is also one of her most powerful and moving. / George Eliot (Mary Ann Evans Cross) was born on November 22, 1819 at Arbury Farm, Warwickshire, England. She received an ordinary education and, upon leaving school at the age of sixteen, embarked on a program of independent study to further her intellectual growth. In 1841 she moved with her father to Coventry, where the influences of 'skeptics and rationalists' swayed her from an intense religious devoutness to an eventual break with the church. The death of her father in 1849 left her with a small legacy and the freedom to pursue her literary inclinations. In 1851 she became the assistant editor of the Westminster Review, a position she held for three years. In 1854 came the fated meeting with George Henry Lewes, the gifted editor of The Leader, who was to become her adviser and companion for the next twenty-four years. Her first book, Scenes of a Clerical Life (1858), was followed by Adam Bede (1859), The Mill on the Floss (1860), Silas Marner (1861), and Middlemarch (1872). The death of Lewes, in 1878, left her stricken and lonely. On May 6, 1880, she married John Cross, a friend of long standing, and after a brief illness she died on December 22 of that year, in London." - Publisher.
