Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell
Susanna Clarke's first novel returns magic to an England that has almost forgotten it. Mr Norrell, a reclusive scholar, proves that practical magic can be done again; Jonathan Strange, his brilliant and impatient pupil, proves that it can be done differently.
Written over a decade and published in 2004, the book is celebrated for its scholarly footnotes, its dry comedy, and the cold unreliable country that lies just behind the England of the page.
