	Kingdom of Powys - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Through-out the early Dark Ages, Powys was ruled by the Gwerthernion dynasty, a family claiming descent jointly from the marriage of Vortigern and Princess Sevira, the daughter of Magnus Maximus.
		In 616 Powys was attacked by Æthelfrith of Northumbria in his pursuit of a political rival, Edwin of Northumbria, who had sought refuge in Gwynedd.
		Powys was united with Gwynedd when king Merfyn Frych of Gwynedd married princess Nest, the sister of king Cyngen of Powys, the last representative of the Gwertherion dynasty.

	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.

	POWYS NOTES
		Powys Notes is a literary journal which is the official publication of the Powys Society of North America (PSNA), devoted to the study of the lives and works of John Cowper Powys (1872-1963) and his brothers, Theodore and Llewelyn.
		Powys would have cried on hearing of the September 11 tragedy, all the more because it had shown the gleaming towers of modern architecture as vulnerable and frangible, not all-conquering or holding the power to render everything smaller than them to oblivion.
		Powys, though, postulates that, if man were to actually meet God, he would be more intoxicated than illuminated, more drunk with the power of God to heal pain than actually redeemed by His mercy.

	Boulter-Powys-Introduction
		Powys describes the pageant as a 'Passion play', and in the miracle play the players were familiar to the audience, so the audience was always conscious of a gap between who the players really were, and who they were pretending to be.
		Powys is doing it better: his is a brilliantly idiosyncratic and yet remarkably comfy bespoke William James world, whereas Barnes offers off the peg M&S postmodernism.
		And yet Powys has been either criticised or ignored for originating his style of writing, whereas Barnes is celebrated for churning out more of the same old 'is it fact or is it fiction?' neatness we've had for several decades.

	Boulter-Powys-Bibliography
		As Charles Lock points out, an interesting way into Powys for recent critical theory might be the fact that both he and Mikhail Bakhtin published critical works on Rabelais and Dostoevksy, and that Powys actually uses techniques of carnival and dialogism in his works to a great extent.
		Powys saw this novel as his major work, and, arguably, it is. Certainly it vies with Glastonbury for consideration as his greatest novel.
		Powys tackles Greek myth: Odysseus (eventually, after digressions which occupy most of the book) sets sail for the lost city (which is occasionally mentioned in earlier novels as an exmple of one of Powys's aboriginal civilisations).

	Powys
		John Cowper Powys was born on October 8th 1872 in Shirley, Derbyshire, England, the eldest of two other famous brothers, Theodore Francis Powys (1875-1953) and Llewelyn Powys (1884-1939).
		Although the brothers were religious, it seems that Theodore Powys had the strongest quest throughout his life to try to understand nature, God and his relationship to both.
		Anyway, it is generally believed that John Cowper Powys had the opportunity to meet the Great Beast and we know this did occur in 1939 as he mentions it in a letter to his friend, Nicholas Ross.
