Introduction to the Society

'The Reading and Discussion of Works by the Powyses'

President: Glen Cavaliero
Chairman: John Hodgson
Hon Secretary: Peter Lazare
Hon Treasurer: Michael French
Publications Manager Stephen Powys Marks

The founding of the Society in 1967 reflected a feeling among Powys admirers and friends that the special quality of the Powys writings, particularly those of John Cowper, Theodore, and Llewelyn, was not sufficiently recognized. It declared that its aim must be 'the establishment of the true literary status of the Powys family through promotion of the reading and discussion of their works'.
