Anthony Powell: Dancing to the Music of Time | Hilary Spurling

5 posts | 2 read | 4 to read

The long-awaited portrait of a literary master from one of our generation's greatest biographers Anthony Powell: the literary genius who gave us A Dance to the Music of Time, an undisputed classic of English literature. Spanning twelve spectacular volumes and written over twenty-five years, his comic masterpiece teems with idiosyncratic characters, capturing twentieth century Britain through war and peace. Drawing on Powell's letters and journals, and the memories of those who knew him, Hilary Spurling explores his life. Investigating the friends, relations, lovers, acquaintances, fools and geniuses who surrounded him, she reveals the comical and tragic events that inspired one of the greatest fictions of the age. * Discover Anthony Powell's A Dance to the Music of Time series, available in paperback and e-book from Arrow.

Superb biography, sympathetic and clear-eyed, of one of the greatest English novelists of the last century. Obviously this will appeal mainly to Powell addicts like myself but even the casual reader will find much to enjoy in the portraits of Orwell, Waugh, Henry Green and the rest of Powell's circle.
