Kingdom of Powys - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia 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. 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. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Kingdom_of_Powys   (2023 words)

the powys society In America John Cowper Powys was friendly with the novelist Theodore Dreiser and the poets Edgar Lee Masters, E A Robinson and Edna St Vincent Millay; in Wales with the poet Raymond Garlick and the novelist James Hanley. It declared that its aim must be 'the establishment of the true literary status of the Powys family through promotion of the reading and discussion of their works'. All the children were formidable individualists but Louis Marlow once wrote that when they were together they became "one huge many-headed Powys". home.iae.nl /users/tklijn/pws/powyssoc.htm   (996 words)

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. www.hermitary.com /bookreviews/powys.html   (1486 words)

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. 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. 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. www.powys-lannion.net /JB_mirror/powysnext.htm   (639 words)

Boulter-Powys-Bibliography 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 saw this novel as his major work, and, arguably, it is. Certainly it vies with Glastonbury for consideration as his greatest novel. 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. www.powys-lannion.net /JB_mirror/pbib.htm   (2639 words)

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. members.aol.com /nicbirns/powys.html   (2537 words)

Powys 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. 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. www.redflame93.com /Powys.html   (1534 words)

Inventory of the Llewelyn Powys Manuscript Book: 1920s-1950s and undated In 1909, however, Llewelyn Powys was diagnosed with tuberculosis, and, though he spent the next two years in a sanatorium in Davos, Switzerland, Powys was never to regain full health. From 1914 to 1919 Llewelyn Powys lived in Kenya, managing a farm for his brother William, who was in military service during World War I. In 1919, Llewelyn moved to the United States, and did not return to England again until 1925. At sea himself, however, in the literary world in England, Powys was again lured back to the United States in 1927, where his wife and he had connections, and he had a definite literary following. www.lib.utexas.edu /taro/tamucush/00106/tamu-00106.html   (1709 words)
