Anthony Powell Biography March 7, 2004 00:00 |
After a number of delays, it seems that Michael Barber's long awaited but unofficial biography of Anthony Powell will be published in June 2004. I've not had the pleasure of seeing any of Barber's text in advance of publication, however if the book is as interesting and lively as his papers at each of the 2001 and 2003 Anthony Powell conferences it promises to be a good read.
Anthony Powell, A Life by Michael Barber is published by Duckworth in June 2004 and can be pre-ordered from Amazon.co.uk.

Website Changes March 7, 2004 00:00 |
Today there are two new additions to the website. Firstly, the various news pages have all been replaced by this News Weblog. The idea is that this will contain all news items relating to Anthony Powell, the Anthony Powell Society, and the website. Secondly, with a couple of new books about Powell being published in the near future, the time was right to put links on the homepage to facilitate ordering them through our associates.
