Winner of England’s Booker Prize and a literary sensation, Possession traces the lives ofa pair of young academicsas they uncover a clandestine relationship between two long-dead Victorian poets. As they unearth their letters, journals, and poems, and track their movements from London to Yorkshire–from spiritualist sances to the fairy-haunted far west of Brittany–what emerges is an extraordinary counterpoint of passions and ideas.
