		John Cowper Powys (8 October 1872 - 17 June 1963) was a public lecturer and writer, born in Derbyshire, England.
		Whether Mr Powys' naked and shameless candour is as candid as it sounds is doubtful.He is naked yet hidden in the vapour of his own confession.He seems to me to have wrapped himself in sensationalism..
		Powys adds a conscience condemned, by the lack of fixed principles, to constant overwork, and a style of such unsophisticated badness as becomes, in the long run, almost endearing.

	John Cowper Powys: A Philosophy of Solitude - Book Reviews - House of Solitude - Hermitary
		In this regard, Powys hopes to create a new level of discourse that will appeal to the common person, that person who desperately needs a philosophy of life, a means of comprehending the world around him or her, while at the same time being a person who is receptive and curious.
		Powys likes the absence of sentimentality or "pietizing" in Wordsworth's view of nature, what Powys calls "elementalism." This is the term he uses to describe his own philosophy of solitude.
		Powys calls it a "premeditated ecstasy," wherein we consciously and deliberately identify with the cosmic elements and the eternal force that animates them.

		John Galsworthy is almost alone among modern writers in the possession of a genius, which in the most exact sense of that admirable word, can only be described as the genius of a gentleman.
		Powys, while unhesitatingly using to his purpose those new fields of psychological interest opened up for us by recent Russian writers, reverts, in the general style and content of his story, to that more idealistic, more simple mood, which we associate with such great romanticists as Emily Bronte and Victor Hugo.
		Powys says of this book that he has sought to correct that plausible and superficial view of the Russian people as "the half-civilised legions to whom we have taught killing by machinery"--a view to which even so independent a thinker as George Bernard Shaw appears to have fallen a victim.

	Eldritch Words Forum :: CAS and John Cowper Powys
		According to Richard Perceval Graves' biography of the Powys brothers, JCP and his brother Lewellyn were in San Francisco c1921 - JCP was an itinerant lecturer-showman across America for many years, and on his visits to the west coast was entertained quite widely by the literary establishent.
		Powys hadn't written much at this time, certainly not the great novels that he is best known for.
