This review is from: On Histories and Stories: Selected Essays (Richard Ellmann Lectures in Modern Literature) (Hardcover)
I thoroughly enjoyed this next to latest book by A.S. Byatt. I have loved many of her books. This one provided an American reader (moi) with insight into contemporary British writers that I didn't have before. It illuminated her shift (and others) away from the blockbuster Victorian novel toward the tale-the greatest story ever told, her last section, is not the topic you might suspect. If you're a Byatt lover, I would definitely check out this book. It's not long. An evening or two. And she's such good company. I even prefer this book to her earlier critical studies. This book is not a critical study but the fallout from a series of lectures. Check it out!
