John Gould; Dance Class

A selection of student essays from John’s teaching of Dance to High School Seniors at Phillips Academy, USA in 2002-3 and again in 2007-8. Dance Class offers an extraordinary collection of student essays about Anthony Powell’s great comic novel. The young authors not only discuss issues of character, plot, and theme, but they also investigate historical background, chart personal relevance, parody characters and situations, even write a treatment for a drama.
For those who love A Dance to the Music of Time, this book will reveal fresh new ways of looking at the series. And for those who are just discovering it, Dance Class will prove a useful and highly entertaining guide.

Dance Class is also available from iUniverse; this may be cheaper for non-UK customers.
