Flaptekst van de Engelse roman uit 1929
First published in 1929, Wolf Solent was the first in John Cowper Powys’ great sequence of visionary works of fiction, set in Hardy’s Wessex but a Wessex now ravaged by the impact of the Great War and the curse of modernity. Both a lyrical story of the English countryside and an agonised account of life and love in the shadow of monstrous change, Wolf Solent is a cult novel like no other.
John Cowper Powys was born on 8 Octobre 1872 in Shirley, Derbyshire, Engeland was a novelist and poet. He lived a highly itinerant life, including some years as a successful lecturer criss-crossing the USA and Canada. His major novels include Wolf Solent, A Glastonbury Romance, Weymouth Sands and Maiden Castle. He died on 17 June 1963 in Blaenau Ffestiniog, Wales, 90 years of age.
