A propos du livre

Revue de presse

"Critically acute and full of imaginative insight... Her scholarship is up to date, and her comments on the social history of the period are cogent and erudite" (Times Literary Supplement)

"She is the best kind of critic because she judges an author on his or her own terms... The great merit of Byatt's writing - fiction and essays - is that it continually engages the reader's mind" (Daily Telegraph)

"A subtle and scholarly work" (Sunday Times)
