Under Review by Anthony Powell

This selection from 40 years of reviews and articles by one of Britain's greatest living novelists falls into three sections: on fin-de-siecle figures such as Wilde and Beardsley, on early 20th century figures including members of the Bloomsbury circle, and on European writers such as Tolstoy, Stendhal and Flaubert.
Anthony Powell was born in 1905. After working in publishing and as a scriptwriter, he began to write for the Daily Telegraph in the mid-1930s. He served in the army during World War II and subsequently became the fiction reviewer on the TLS. Next came five years as literary editor of Punch. He was appointed a Companion of Honour in 1988. In addition to the twelve-novel sequence, A Dance to the Music of Time, Anthony Powell was the author of seven other novels, and four volumes of memoirs, To Keep the Ball Rolling. He died in March 2000.
