Product info

<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>The bestselling author of "Possession" pairs her searching intelligence with the insights of psychoanalyst Ignes Sodre in a free-wheeling and exhilarating discussion of one novel each by six women writers--Jane Austen, Charlotte Bronte, George Eliot, Willa Cather, Iris Murdoch, and Toni Morrison. The result reveals how literature engages and nourishes the reader.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>In this innovative and wide-ranging book, Byatt and the psychoanalyst Ignes Sodre bring their different sensibilities to bear on six novels they have read and loved: Jane Austen's <i>Mansfield Park</i>, Bronte's <i>Villette</i>, George Elliot's <i>Daniel Deronda</i>, Willa Cather's <i>The Professor's House</i>, Iris Murdoch's <i>An Unofficial Rose</i>, and Toni Morrison's <i>Beloved</i>. The results are nothing less than an education in the ways literature grips its readers and, at times, transforms their lives. <b>Imagining Characters</b> is indispensable, a work of criticism that returns us to the books it discusses with renewed respect and wonder.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>A.S. Byatt is the author of the novels <b>Possession</b> (winner of the Booker Prize in 1990), <b>The Game</b>, and the sequence <b>The Virgin in the Garden</b><i>, </i><b>Still Life</b>, and <b>Babel Tower</b>. She has also written two novellas, published together as <b>Angels and Insects</b>, and four collections of shorter works, including <b>The Matisse Stories</b> and <b>The Djinn in the Nightingale's Eye</b>. 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.
