A new collection of essays. H.W. Fawkner’s essay A–Venusi explores issues of reading, movement, love and sex, the ‘amorous self’, and affectivity in A Glastonbury Romance. Ian Hughes looks at the genre of Powys’s novels, and how the philosophical romances were influenced by Walter Pater’s Marius the Epicurean. Janina Nordius discusses the crucial Powys theme of (transcendental) solitude in the key novel of the Powys-self alone, Wolf Solent. Joe Boulter’s essay concentrates on the affinities between modernism and postmodernism, pragmatism and deconstruction, in one of Powys’s late novels, The Inmates, via thinkers such as William James, Michel Foucault, Gilles Deleuze and Felix Guattari.
