Special Evening Event: The Anthony Powell Annual Lecture: ‘Come Dancing’ Some reflections on the work of Anthony Powell

Saturday 17th November, 2007

6:30pm - 8:30pm

Following the success of our recent centenary exhibition on the novelist Anthony Powell, which explored the many links between Powell, his world and the Wallace Collection, we are delighted to announce the inauguration of an annual lecture which will explore facets of Powell, his work and his influence.

The inaugural 2007 lecture, organised in association with the Anthony Powell Society, will be given by Tariq Ali. Novelist, historian and political campaigner, Tariq Ali has been a lively presence on the Left for over forty years. He will speak about his admiration for Anthony Powell’s work and its influence on his own novels, which include a historical sequence about Islam.
