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.
Stephen Powys Marks has kindly prepared the following list of
the principal contents of volumes 1-26, which is immediately
followed by the contents of the later volumes not published for
