Description
Anthony Powell's Memoirs offer a unique glimpse into the life and work of one of England's most celebrated writers. This abridged and revised edition, first published in the US, provides a fascinating view of Powell as a man and an author, as well as a history of British literary society during the mid-20th century. Powell's memoirs paint vivid portraits of notable figures from the world of literature, including Kingsley Amis, V.S. Naipaul, T.S. Eliot, Virginia Woolf, and others. Through his observations on the social elite he moved within, Powell reveals a modernist with Tory leanings, who was also deeply interested in genealogy and peerage. A rare insight into the life of a literary giant, Anthony Powell's Memoirs are a compelling read for anyone interested in British literature and culture during this period.
