Wolf Solent

byJohn Cowper Powys, A. Wilson (Introducer)
First published in 1929, Wolf Solent was the first in John Cowper Powys’ great sequence of visionary works of fiction, set in Hardy’s Wessex but a Wessex now ravaged by the impact of the Great War and the curse of modernity. Both a lyrical story of the English countryside and an agonised account of life and love in the shadow of monstrous change, Wolf Solent is a cult novel like no other.

The finest novel by an Englishman in the 20th century
