Description: LLEWELYN POWYS: A Selection of His Writings Edited by Kenneth Hopkins The steady increase in the reputation of Llewelyn Powys since his early death makes this selection of his writings par- ticularly timely. It is especially welcome now, as a number of his most significant books have gone out of print, and are obtainable only at considerable expense. The present collection represents all the fascinating variety of his work-the shrewd observation of the critic of life and manners; the rich, earthy philosophy, the countryman's love and understand- ing of nature, the stylist's appreciation of great literature. Here are passages from the books that made Powys famous-Impassioned Clay, The Cradle of God, Love and Death, and a dozen others. Here too are a number of memorable essays never before col- lected in book form, and a group of un- published letters. The volume as a whole is indispensable in any library of modern literature, for it gives a revealing, rich view of one of the great writers, and one of the most enjoy- able, of our generation. In his introduction, Kenneth Hopkins gives a sketch of the life of Powys and adds some personal reminiscences of him.
