The Powys Review
An Important Corpus of Record and Scholarship
The Powys Review
contains an important corpus of record and scholarship relating to the Powys
family and the work of its members and related subjects, ably gathered
together by its Editor Belinda Humfrey, formerly head of the Department of
English, University of Wales, Lampeter. The first number was issued to
members of the Society in 1977. The first four numbers were published by the
Society itself, then when the Society felt itself unable to continue,
Belinda undertook to act as publisher as well as Editor, the Society
purchasing copies from her for its members, which were then sent out by her.
In all 26 volumes were published by or on behalf of the Society under this
arrangement for the 14 years to 1990.
After much deliberation, the Society decided to publish its own learned
journal. The first issue of The Powys Journal, to be published
annually, was issued in 1991. Meanwhile, Belinda Humfrey continued to
publish occasional volumes of The Powys Review:: three have appeared
since 1990: 27/28 for 1992/93; 29/30, no date [1995]; and 31/32, no date
[1997].

In 1992, the Society published an Index to the volumes which were issued to
its members, 1 to 26 (see
Our Publications). This contains six
sections: four, covering John Cowper Powys, Theodore Francis Powys, Llewelyn
Powys, and General Index, comprise the all-important subject-index;
contributors are listed in the fifth section, and the sixth covers the many
reviews which have not found a place in one of the earlier headings. The
Index contains a list of the principal contents, which appears below.
Complete sets of volumes 1-26 are available from the Society (see the
publications order form ), while later
volumes are available from Belinda Humfrey.
