The AnaChronisT – Special Issue on Anthony Burgess
"Burgess and Droogs: A Post-Centennial Collection of Essays" is the subtitle for the recent issue of The AnaChronisT, an academic journal published by the Department of English at ELTE. The Special Issue was edited by Ákos Farkas, Evgeniya Laverycheva, and Dániel Panka.
Excerpt from the “Foreword” by editors Evgeniya Laverycheva and Dániel Panka:
"The idea for the Anthony Burgess Special Issue of The AnaChronisT was prompted by a conference held at Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) on 10 November in 2017 as a celebration of Anthony Burgess’s centenary. Aside from plenary talks and individual sessions, the conference also featured the continental premiere of Burgess’s musical setting of T. S. Eliot’s The Waste Land, performed by members of the Department of Music Culture and the School of English and American Studies at ELTE, who were also helped by then-current and former students of the Liszt Ferenc Academy of Music. Perhaps even Anthony Burgess would have approved of such a conclusion to the conference proceedings, since he considered himself first and fore-most, as it stands on the homepage of the International Anthony Burgess Foundation in his own words, “ ‘a musician who writes novels, instead of a novelist who writes music on the side.'"
