Books, letters, artifacts, journals.

Theyre the tools of a special group of detectives: literary scholars.

Two such sleuths, Maud Bailey and Roland Michell, trail a mystery that will rewrite historys understanding of a pair of famed Victorian poets - and may also awaken Maud and Rolands feelings for each other. Love is of the mind as well as the heart when Gwyneth Paltrow and Aaron Eckhart star in a soaring version of A. S. Byatts celebrated novel.

The direction of Neil LaBute (Nurse Betty) seamlessly shifts between modern and Victorian eras.

And Jeremy Northam and Jennifer Ehle play the poets who understand that no mere human can stand in a fire and not be consumed. For Maud and Roland, its a fire that spans the ages.
