After My Fashion

John Cowper Powys

0/5 ( ratings)

"After My Fashion" was the third novel written by John Cowper Powys. For various reasons it was never published at the time of its writing in 1919. This Picador Paperback, issued by Pan Books is thus the First Edition. It was issued in 1980 in London. The book, published posthumously as it was, has a foreword by John Cowper's brother, Francis Powys .

The novel's protagonist, Richard Storm, is obviously styled after John Cowper Powys himself, and the protagonist's object of desire, a dancer named Elsie, was inspired by Isadora Duncan, whom Powys knew when he was living in Greenwich Village, New York. The setting of the story is Greenwich - amidst the bohemian artists and writers there, and the rural Sussex countryside in England. Descriptively the novel is very rich ... and , as stories go ... it is quite satisfying.

Language: English

Pages: 287
