Anthony Powell

Anthony Dymoke Powell, CH, CBE (21.12. 1905–28.3. 2000.) bio je engleski romanoopisac najpoznatiji po svom djelu u 12 tomova pod nazivom A Dance to the Music of Time, a koje je objavljeno između 1951. i 1975. Prema vlastitim memoarima prezime Powell se fonteski izgovaralo kao Pol.

Powella su pisci kao Evelyn Waugh i Kingsley Amis smatrali kao jednim od najvećih engleskih književnika 20. stoljeća, kao i svojevrsnim engleskim ekvivalentom Marcela Prousta^[1]. Powellovo djelo se dan-danas štampa, a često se adaptira za radio i TV-drame.
