Continuance and Change. The Contemporary British Novel Sequence

This unusually perceptive study is the first to treat at length both the novel sequence as an art form the concept of time as a vital ingredient of it. The writers works discussed are Doris Lessing s Children of Violence, Olivia Manning s Balkan Trilogy, Lawrence Durrell s Alexandria Quartet, Burgess s Malayan Trilogy, C. P. Snow s Strangers Brothers, and Anthony Powell s as yet uncompleted Dance to the Music of Time.
