Publisher's Synopsis
Acclaimed literary biographer Hilary Spurling turns her attention to Anthony Powell, an iconic figure of English letters. Equally notorious for his literary achievments and his lacerating wit, Powell famously authored the twelve-volume, twenty-five year magnum opus, 'A Dance to the Music of Time'. This enduringly fascinating portrait of mid 20th century Britain has never been out of print. Master novelist, well-connected socialite and keen eyed social observer, Powell comes into focus as never before.
