A Dance to the Music of Time: Spring

Considered a masterpiece of modern fiction, Powell's epic creates a rich parorama of life in England between the wars.

Includes these novels:
A Question of Upbringing
A Buyer's Market
The Acceptance World

"Anthony Powell is the best living English novelist by far. His admirers are addicts, let us face it, held in thrall by a magician." —Chicago Tribune

"A book which creates a world and explores it in depth, which ponders changing relationships and values, which creates brilliantly living and diverse characters and then watches them grow and change in their milieu...Powell's world is as large and as complex as Proust's."

—Elizabeth Janeway, New York Times

"One of the most important works of fiction since the Second World War...The novel looked, as it began, something like a comedy of manners; then, for a while, like a tragedy of manners; now like a vastly entertaining, deeply melancholy, yet somehow courageous statement about human experience."

—Naomi Bliven, New Yorker
