THE ANTHONY BURGESS CENTRE is a research centre of the University of Angers, France, set up in 1998 by Ben Forkner after Liana Burgess deposited with the university library a collection of her husband’s books, papers and music. These, together with audio-visual material relating to Burgess, donated by the BBC, constitute the Anthony Burgess archives.  

The Centre has been responsible for holding international symposiums  and workshops on different aspects of Anthony Burgess’s œuvre, organising performances of his musical works   and publishing both proceedings and recordings.
