John Cowper Powys (October 8, 1872 - June 17, 1963) was a British writer, lecturer, and philosopher.
Originally published in 1929 and now available in paperback for the first time in more than two decades, John Cowper Powys's rapturous novel of eros and ideas has been compared with works by Shakespeare, Thomas Hardy, and D. H. Lawrence. Wolf Solent remains unrivaled in its risky balance of mysticism and comedy, ecstatic contemplation of nature and unblinking observation of human folly and desire.Forsaking London for a village in Dorsetshire, Wolf Solent discovers a world of pagan splendor and medieval insularity, riddled by ancient scandals and resentments. And in Ramsgard this poetic young man meets two women -- the sensuous beauty Gerda and the ethereal gamine Christie -- who will become the sharers of his body and soul. Audacious, extravagant, and gloriously strange, Wolf Solent is a twentieth-century masterpiece.
