7 3/8″ x 5 3/8″

A complete 12 volume set of Anthony Powell’s series A Dance to the Music of Time.

Anthony Powell wrote the 12-novel sequence called Dance to the Music of Time during the years 1950-1974.

Anthony Powell’s A Dance to the Music of Time is an example of the roman fleuve, or “river novel” and is intended to be read as a unity. As such, it is often compared to Marcel Proust’s masterwork, A la recherche de temps perdu. Dance constitutes a sort of history of the twentieth century British life: it follows upper-middle class narrator Nicholas Jenkins and his contemporaries throughout a rapidly changing world from 1921 to 1971, with coverage weighed more heavily to the earlier years.
