There are few writers about whom opinions diverge so widely as Anthony Powell, whose "Dance to the Music of Time" sequence is one of the most ambitious literary constructions in the English language. In "Different Speeds, Same Furies", Perry Anderson measures Powell's achievement against Marcel Proust's celebrated "In Search of Lost Time".
The literature on "Dance "is a drop in the ocean compared to that on Proust. Yet in construction of plot and depiction of character, Anderson ranks Powell above him. How much do particular advantages of this kind matter, and why is Powell an odd man out in English letters? At once so similar and dissimilar, the intricate retrospectives of the two novelists on bohemia and Society, upbringing and mortality, relationships and personality, invite interrelated judgements.
The closing chapters of "Different Speeds, Same Furies" reach beyond their handlings of time to chart the historical novel from "Waverley "to "Underworld"," "and the breakthrough in epistolatory fiction of Montesquieu's "Persian Letters", held together by what its author described as a secret chain which remains, as it were, invisible'.
