Essays reflecting the enthusiasms of A.S. Byatt, from Romanticism and Victorians to modern writers, from the art of Van Gogh to the value of myth. Two sections trace Byatt's fascination with the links between the symbolic and the real, and her changing views on her own craft of writing.
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 ficiton, 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 shados of Van Gogh's painting.
