John Cowper Powys (1872-1963) was a British novelist, lecturer, philosopher, literary critic, and poet. Powys is a somewhat controversial writer "who evokes both massive contempt and near idolatry". Thus while Walter Allen in Tradition and Dream recognizes Powys's genius, he is dissatisfied with what Powys has done with it, seeing Powys s approach to the novel, as "so alien to the temper of the age as to be impossible for many people to take seriously". Annie Dillard, however, views things quite differently: "John Cowper Powys is a powerful genius, whose novels stir us deeply." What is noteworthy is that throughout his career he consistently gained the admiration of novelists as diverse as Theodore Dreiser, Henry Miller, Iris Murdoch, Margaret Drabble, and James Purdy, as well as the academic critics George Painter, G. Wilson Knight, George Steiner, Harald Fawkner, and Jerome McGann. Periodically, over almost 50 years, starting with Confessions of Two Brothers in 1916, Powys wrote works that present his personal philosophy of life. .
