Book excerpt: First published in 1929, John Cowper Powys's novel of Eros and ideas was compared with works by Shakespeare, Thomas Hardy, and D.H. Lawrence. Wolf Solent remains wholly unrivaled in its deft and risky balance of mysticism and social comedy, ecstatic contemplation of nature and unblinking observation of human folly and desire. Forsaking London for Ramsgard, Wolf Solent discovers a world of pagan splendor and medieval insularity, riddled by ancient scandals and resentments. And there this poetic young man meets two women—the sensuous beauty Gerda and the ethereal gamine Christie—who will become the sharers of his body and soul. "A novelist of great, cumulative force and lyrical intensity. . . . Out of his rhapsodic style and keen attentiveness to nature, he builds a tower of prose to match the firmament.”—Washington Post Book World

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: John Cowper Powys's works have been described as 'the only novels produced by an English writer that can fairly be compared to the fictions of Tolstoy and Dostoevsky ? with an immensity to which only Blake could provide a parallel in English literature' (George Steiner, The New Yorker). His talents were manifested by such books as his Autobiography, Wolf Solent, Weymouth Sands, and A Glastonbury Romance.In this, Powys's first comprehensive biography, eminent scholar Morine Krissdottir delves into the life of the writer, from his childhood in Derbyshire through his celebrated lecture tours through England and the US; from his life's loves to his relationship with his own writing. Krissdottir demonstrates that Powys - known as much for his essays, letters, poetry, and philosophy as he was for his fiction - was a man whose writing had a scope matched only by the breadth of his life. Using primary sources, never-before-seen archival materials (including photos), and Powys's own writings, Krissdottir pieces together this life in a way that will be impossible to forget
