Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell (2005) stands as one of the most significant works of fantasy of its era. In an alternate Napoleonic England, the reclusive Mr Norrell and his brilliant but reckless student Jonathan Strange restore English magic—with fateful consequences. Clarke's Hugo Award–winning debut is a magnificent achievement: a fully realised alternate history written in the style of Jane Austen and Charles Dickens. Themes of magic, Napoleonic England, folklore run through the work. The book has received recognition from Hugo Award 2005.
