First editions of each volume in the author's acclaimed Dance to the Music of Time series, each inscribed by him to his lifelong friend. Octavo, twelve volumes, original publisherâs cloth. Every volume is inscribed by Powell to his lifelong friend the artist and cartoonist Osbert Lancaster, each inscription dated within the year of publication on the front free endpaper, four of them additionally signed on the title page. The first seven volumes are inscribed to Lancaster and his first wife, Karen Harris, until her death in 1964, The Soldierâs Art to Lancaster alone, and the final four to Lancaster and his second wife, Anne Scott-James. Powell and Lancaster met through the literary circles of Oxford and remained close for much of their lives, and Lancaster provided the cover illustrations for the first seven Penguin editions of the sequence before being replaced in that role by the publisher, much to Powellâs dismay. Each volume is very good to near fine in near fine dust jackets. A remarkable association set, uniting Powellâs masterpiece with the friend who illustrated it, inscribed across nearly a quarter of a century. Anthony Powell's universally acclaimed epic encompasses a twelve-volume panorama of twentieth century London. Hailed by Time as "brilliant literary comedy as well as a brilliant sketch of the times," A Dance to the Music of Time opens just after World War I. Amid the fever of the 1920s and the first chill of the 1930s, Nick Jenkins and his friends confront sex, society, business, and art. In the second volume they move to London in a whirl of marriage and adulteries, fashions and frivolities, personal triumphs and failures. These books "provide an unsurpassed picture, at once gay and melancholy, of social and artistic life in Britain between the wars" (Arthur Schlesinger, Jr.). Listed on Modern Library's 100 greatest novels of the twentieth century. Time magazine included the novel in its100 Best English-language Novels from 1923 to 2005.…
