A. S. Byatt is the older sister of Maragaret Drabble! Apparently she has been accused of being persnickedy and repressed, even by English standards. I definitely felt something of that while reading Possession, but it's hard to hold it against her, because she is self-aware about it, and brings it up within the text. (And ditto for every other critique I could possibly level.) Great observations about academia -- especially in the field of literary criticism -- brought back memories of archival research for my History thesis.
