Product Description

An erudite companion to Anthony Powell's 12-volume masterwork, A Dance to the Music of Time , which The NewYorker hailed as "one of the most important works of fiction since the Second World War."A Dance to the Music of Time is a landmark of 20th-century literature—but as the reader cavorts through the 12-volume novel alongside the narrator Nicholas Jenkins, it soon becomes apparent that he, too, confuses dates and events. Here, Hilary Spurling places every detail in its proper place. A magnificent database of Powell's imagination and England's cultural landscape, Invitation to the Dance encompasses more than 400 characters and one million words of Powell's lively epic.
