Passions Of The Mind (eBook, ePUB)

Selected Writings

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In Passions of the Mind, A.S. Byatt writes as an artist and scholar taking the reader on a journey of discovery as she explores the ideas, images and attitudes to language underpinning some of her own fiction, and also the work of Great Victorians and a varied range of twentieth-century women writers.

Fascinated by the coincidence of the symbolic and real which she finds in her favourite writers - Robert Browning, George Eliot and Wallace Stevens - A.S. Byatt also celebrates this quality in the sun and shadows of Van Gogh's painting.
