Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell is the award-winning debut novel by British writer Susanna Clarke. It was first published in America on 8 September 2004 and then in Britain on 20 September 2004 by Bloomsbury.
The book is set in an alternate 19th-century Britain, during the Napoleonic Wars. The story is based on the premise of magic returning to England after hundreds of years of desuetude, and the tumultuous relationship between two fictional magicians of the time. The story incorporates historical events and people into its fictional alternate reality. Historical figures encountered in the novel include the Duke of Wellington, Lord Byron and King George III. The novel, written in a pastiche of Jane Austen's literary style, uses quasi-archaic spelling for several words (such as shew, chuse, sopha, scissars, headach, and surprize).
The book is interspersed with hundreds of fictional footnotes which reference a number of fictional books including magical scholarship and biographies, and which provide a detailed backstory. Many pages of the book contain more footnote text than main body text. The book features several illustrations by Portia Rosenberg.

评分腰封上尼尔·盖曼的名字那么大,远远看去还以为他出了新书。且不说他为此书写的序从头到笔都是水军手笔,单只一句“七十年来英国奇幻小说中最好的一部”就把极少触碰大部头奇幻作品的我惊了个踉跄。 一千一百页读完后,想不出更拉风的形容词,至少在开列近期个人五星书单时若非...
