John Cowper Powys (/ˈkuːpər ˈpoʊɪs/; 8 October 1872 – 17 June 1963) was an English philosopher, lecturer, novelist, critic and poet born in Shirley, Derbyshire, where his father was vicar of the parish church in 1871–1879. Powys appeared with a volume of verse in 1896 and a first novel in 1915, but gained success only with his novel Wolf Solent in 1929. He has been seen as a successor to Thomas Hardy, and Wolf Solent, A Glastonbury Romance (1932), Weymouth Sands (1934), and Maiden Castle (1936) have been called his Wessex novels. As with Hardy, landscape is important to his works. So is elemental philosophy in his characters' lives. In 1934 he published an autobiography. His itinerant lectures were a success in England and in 1905–1930 in the United States, where he wrote many of his novel

rdfs:comment	John Cowper Powys [dʒɒn ˌkuːpɚ ˈpoʊɪs] (* 8. Oktober 1872 in , Derbyshire; † 17. Juni 1963 in Blaenau Ffestiniog, Wales) war ein walisischer Dichter und Schriftsteller. Er verfasste Lyrik, Essays, umfangreiche Romane sowie philosophische Schriften. Zwischen 1915 und 1957 veröffentlichte er beinahe jedes Jahr eines seiner umfangreichen Bücher. Er gab sich in seinen Werken als ironischer Skeptiker, der selbst die eigene Weltanschauung immer wieder in Frage stellt. Powys war bekennender Polytheist und zugleich überzeugter Agnostiker auf der Suche nach poetischem und nicht spirituellem Sinn. Elke Heinemann nennt ihn einen „englische[n] Dostojewski“ und das „unbekannteste Genie des 20. Jahrhunderts“. (de) John Cowper Powys galestar filosofo, eleberrigile, literatura kritikari eta olerkaria izan zen. Arrakasta lortu zuen 1929an Wolf Solent eleberriarekin.

(it) John Cowper Powys (ur. 8 października 1872, zm. 17 czerwca 1963) – angielski poeta, prozaik i eseista. W swojej twórczości podejmował na ogół tematykę filozoficzną. Jego pierwszym sukcesem była powieść Wolf Solent (1929), łącząca realistyczą obserwację świata ludzi i przyrody z medytacją i wnikliwą autoanalizą psychologiczną. Zainteresowanie dziejami legendarnymi i historią, często ubarwioną przez bujną wyobraźnię, znalazły swój wyraz w innych jego powieściach: A Glastonbury Romance (1932), Owen Glendower (1940), Atlantis (1954). Powys był też autorem licznych tomów esei, m.in. The Meaning of Culture (1930) oraz The Pleasures of Literature (1938).
