Possession

Style and Technique

«Possession», written by A.S. Byatt, is an outstanding work that uniquely combines elements of postmodernism and Victorian literature. The author employs a complex structure, organizing the text as a series of interwoven stories with multiple characters and plotlines. A distinctive feature of the style is the use of diverse literary forms—from poetry to the epistolary genre—allowing the reader to immerse themselves more deeply in the atmosphere of each historical layer of the story. Byatt masterfully recreates the styles of different eras, further emphasizing the multifaceted nature and depth of her work. The language of the book is rich and expressive, with an abundance of literary allusions and intertextual connections, making the reading experience intellectually enriching.
