A. S. Byatt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Byatt was educated at the Newnham College, University of Cambridge, Bryn Mawr in Pennsylvania, USA and Somerville College, University of Oxford, though her research grant to the latter institution (dependent on single status) ended with her first marriage. |
 | | Byatt prefers to offer fantasy not as an escape, but as an alternative to, everyday life, creating what is often termed a "hybrid genre", a combination of experimental and realistic work. |
 | | Byatt's first novel, Shadow of a Sun, the story of a young girl growing up in the shadow of a dominant father, was published in 1964 and was followed by The Game (1967), a study of the relationship between two sisters. |
