About the Foundation

The International Anthony Burgess Foundation encourages and supports public and scholarly interest in all aspects of the life and work of Anthony Burgess. Based in Manchester, England, we have an extensive library, archive and study centre containing Burgess’s books, music and papers. We also have a performance venue where we present new work by writers, artists and musicians.

Founded in 2003 by Liana Burgess (1929-2007), the Burgess Foundation is an entirely independent charity that welcomes all individuals and institutions interested in Burgess’s work.
