	Introduction A Resource for both Private and Public Research The Powys Society has long had an important role in the field of literary scholarship; and this area of the site is primarily intended as a resource for those both within and without the Society who are actively engaged in private or public research. To explore information about the Powys Society Collection (on semi-permanent loan to the Dorset County Museum in Dorchester), please click on the above link.. Reader's Guides At the Powys Conference at Llangollen in August 2003, Professor W. J. Keith deposited with the Hon. Secretary copies of two aids to Porius, with the intention that these should be placed in the Society's archive and made accessible to any member or serious student wishing to consult them. He has since supplied reader's guides to A Glastonbury Romance, Autobiography, and Owen Glendower. Jacqueline Peltier has since worked with Professor Keith to make these reader's guides available as PDF files which can be downloaded and printed as booklets (for further details please visit Jacqueline Peltier's website).

	*Porius* The first and more important of the 'Porius' aids is entitled "John Cowper Powys's Porius: A Reader's Companion". It is an alphabetical listing along the lines of the late Robert Kunkel's "John Cowper Powys's Porius: A Partial Glossary of Proper Names" published in the 1998 Powys Journal, and attempts in addition to identify literary and biblical quotations, to explain references in Welsh, Greek, Latin and other languages, with added information Professor Keith found helpful in coming to terms with the novel/romance. The annotations are keyed to the complete text of Porius published by Colgate University Press in 1994. The second document entitled "The Text of Porius: Corrections and Emendations" is a listing by page- and line-number offering corrections to the imperfect text of this 1994 edition. John Cowper Powys's Porius: A Reader's Companion, 95 pp. The Text of Porius: Corrections and Emendations, 74 pp. *Glastonbury, Autobiography & Owen Glendower* John Cowper Powys's 'A Glastonbury Romance: A Reader's Companion by W.J.
