Abstract:
The object of this study is the presence of postmodern elements in A.S. Byatt's novel
Possession. My purpose is to scrutinize this novel from a postmodern perspective. My
study will examine Byatt's writing style and her experimental tendencies. I also intend to
talk about A.S. Byatt's treatment of history, that is, how she merges nineteenth century
realism with techniques of postmodemism. My aim is to see how the structures of the
traditional fairy tale and romance live on in Byatt's work. Furthermore I am going to
demonstrate how this novel transforms and playfully manipulate those elements.A.S.
Byatt's novel was my first preference because she employs almost all the postmodem
styles.
