»Two New Books on Anthony Powell
Two new books about the life and works of the English novelist Anthony Powell (1905-2000), best known for his twelve-volume series of novels, A Dance to the Music of Time, have recently been written using materials from the Special Collections at the Georgetown University Library. Author and broadcaster Michael Barber has written the most complete biography of the author, Anthony Powell: A Life. Nicholas Birns, a faculty member at The New School and a founding member of the Anthony Powell Society, has completed his critical work, Understanding Anthony Powell, which describes the novelist’s position among the second generation of British modernists. Both books were published in 2004 and will be added to the Library’s collection. The books are currently on display in the Gunlocke Room of Lauinger Library as part of an exhibit marking the centennial of Powell’s birth.
»REMINDER: Refurbishment Noise in Lauinger
The exterior walls of Lauinger Library are undergoing refurbishment. Work is taking place Monday through Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. and is expected to last throughout the semester. This project may be noisy at times as it will include drilling and chipping. As midterms approach, the schedule will be altered in order to minimize the impact on students who reside nearby.
