Unruly Times by A S Byatt

Unruly Times by A S Byatt

Unruly Times is a superlative portrait of the relationship between Wordsworth and Coleridge, and a fascinating exploration of the Romantic Movement and the dramatic events that shaped it. With a novelist's insight and eye for detail, A. S. Byatt brings alive this tumultuous period and shows a deep understanding of the effects upon the minds of Wordsworth, Coleridge and their contemporaries - de Quincey, Lamb, Hazlitt, Byron and Keats.

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 *
