Here's another book I tried and failed to finish: A.S. Byatt's
Possession. According to its description, the book has almost everything I should enjoy:

The novel traces a pair of young academics—Roland Michell and Maud Bailey—as they uncover a clandestine love affair between two long-dead Victorian poets. Interwoven in a mesmerizing pastiche are love letters and fairytales, extracts from biographies and scholarly accounts, creating a sensuous and utterly delightful novel of ideas and passions.

Despite the premise, I just couldn't get into the book.
