The Acceptance World
''The Acceptance World'' is the third book of Anthony Powell's twelve novel sequence, ''A Dance to the Music of Time''. Nick Jenkins continues the narration of his life and encounters with friends and acquaintances in London, between 1931 and 1933.
==Themes==
A theme is the uneven pace at which contemporaries mature, some like Templer, reach an early plateau. Jenkins' development serves as a pacemaker, against which the growth of others is measured. This is reflected in a subtle but discernible change in the language employed in dialogue, compared to that of the earlier volumes. The occult undercurrent running through the cycle surfaces with the appearance of Mrs Erdleigh, a figure presented by the author with characteristic ambiguity. The pretensions of Edwardian novelists, here represented by the ludicrous figure of St. John Clarke (mischievously based on John Galsworthy), are guyed in a memorable scene in which the elderly writer is shown lending modish support to a demonstration, while pushed in his wheelchair by the Marxist Quiggin. Jenkins is seen to move freely between high society and demi-monde, offering snapshots of both.
