Description

The extended version of a lecture given by Byatt at London's National Portrait Gallery in 2000, about portraits in fiction and about portraits of writers of fiction. She delves into the complex relations between the two, ranging from Henry James to Iris Murdoch and from Botticelli to Manet.

Reviews

"She is, as ever, witty and acute in describing imagined paintings, and relating them to real painters and noting the impossible gulf between a portrait in dried oil pigment and one in words... Byatt is always worth reading... beautifully illustrated." -- "Daily Telegraph"
