In his overview of Powell's novels, Understanding Anthony Powell, Nicholas Birns concludes, “The world in which Jenkins ‘seemed to find himself’ at the end of The Acceptance World is poised in an almost exact balance between satisfaction and sorrow.” [3]
The novel is dedicated to British portrait and landscape painter, Adrian Daintrey.[4]
