  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.

 The Biographer's Tale - A.S.Byatt
"Byatt is a splendidly cerebral novelist, whose stories hum and whir with the energy generated by the superabundance of ideas they contain.
Byatt presents these three accounts in full, odd little documents in which the subjects are identified only by their initials (CL, FG, and HI), though their identities are fairly easy to determine (as Nanson is quickly able to do).
Byatt has many wonderful (and wonderfully bizarre) touches in her book, a meticulous amalgamation of the oddities of everyday and academic life and bits of history.

 A.S. Byatt at the Complete Review
One of Byatt's greatest achievements, here and elsewhere in her work, has been to redefine that label and our expectations of it.
"In Byatt's fiction the collision between European Christianity and scientific understanding, the ensuing religious recession and the need to reckon its moral implications are less a backdrop for a brilliant postmodern picnic than an overwhelming flood of inheritance.
Byatt nicely integrates science and literature into her fictions, never shying away from complex ideas -- sometimes to the chagrin of her readers.
