While this book doesn’t include information specifically on Byatt’s work, it may be useful for readers who are unfamiliar with Yorkshire, where many of her novels are set. The section on “The Yorkshires and Humberside” is nearly one hundred pages long. It is broken down into entries on cities (e.g., Hull, York, and Sheffield) and other features like castles and abbeys. Historical information is combined with literary information and specific, detailed touring suggestions.

Modern British Literature’s articles consist of collected excerpts from notable contemporary reviews. These are placed in chronological order. Byatt’s entry begins with her first novel, The Shadow of the Sun (original title: Shadow of a Sun) and includes The Game, The Virgin in the Garden, Possession, Babel Tower, and Sugar and Other Stories. The entry concludes with a brief bibliography of primary sources (both fiction and nonfiction and including works Byatt edited), which is current through 1999.
