Synopsis

In an England where magic has long been forgotten, two very different magicians emerge to bring it back. Gilbert Norrell, a reclusive scholar, hoards his knowledge, while the flamboyant Jonathan Strange seeks to practice it openly. Their contrasting approaches to magic and their rivalry explore the very nature of Englishness and the line between reason and enchantment.
