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" updated April, 2009. 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. All page-references are to Judith Bond and Morine Krissdóttir's edition published by Overlook Duckworth in 2007, with those to Wilbur T. Albrecht's 1994 edition from Colgate University Press following in square brackets. 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.
