Possession is an exhilarating novel of wit and romance, at once a literary detective novel and a triumphant love story. It is the tale of a pair of young scholars investigating the lives of two Victorian poets.
Following a trail of letters, journals and poems they uncover a web of passion, deceit and tragedy, and their quest becomes a battle against time.
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.

Thanks for this. It brought back memories. It took me years to finish reading it as I am distracted, slow reader with very weak eyesight. A very long but a very lovely book.

Thank you, jodindy. Another excellent upload. This potential modern classic is available in two different audio versions, one narrated by Virginia Leishman and the other by Samuel West, and they both do a terrific job. Both have trained and very cultured voices.

I originally bought this in paperback back in 1996 with the same Pre-Raphaelite painting by Edward Burne-Jones on the cover. A wonderful painting titled “The Beguiling of Merlin” (1874).
