In this book of short stories, A.S. Byatt returns to the more familiar territory that she had previously explored in her novel Possession: the landscape of Victorian England, where science and spiritualism are both popular manias, and domestic decorum coexists with brutality and perversion. Angels and Insects is a greatly spiritual group of texts and multifaceted in both meaning and layering.
