A self-analyzing piece of literature, this volume demonstrates a critic turning his sharp eye inward. John Cowper wrote his section because he “is always engaged in analyzing the minds of clever artists; let [him] for once, undertake the less pleasing task of analyzing the mind of a clever critic.” Llewelyn’s section contains passages from his diary—many written in the same vein as his brother’s.
Om författaren
John Cowper Powys (1872-1963) was a prolific British novelist and critic. He is best known today for the novels Wolf Solent (1929), A Glastonbury Romance (1932), and Owen Glendower (1940), as well as his Autobiography (1934). An idiosyncratic writer, Powys drew on strains of Romanticism and the dour determinism of Hardy, adding a mysticism all his own.
Llewelyn Powys (1884-1939) was, like his brothers John Cowper and T. F. Powys, a noteworthy Welsh writer. After graduating from Corpus Christi College, Cambridge, he lectured in the United States and also lived in Switzerland and Africa. His works include Thirteen Worthies (1923), the autobiography Ebony and Ivory (1923), and the novel Apples Be Ripe (1930).
