Scope and content
Thirty-six volumes of the diaries of John Cowper Powys, being an unbroken series dating from 1930 to 1961. Powys began keeping a diary in June 1929 on his departure from New York on a visit to England (see NLW MS 22807A).
The first two volumes have been edited for publication (see The Diary of John Cowper Powys 1930, ed. by Frederick Davies (London, 1987) and The Diary of John Cowper Powys 1931 (London, 1990)) and the period June 1934 to June 1935 has been published in The Dorset Year, ed. by Morine Krissdóttir and Roger Peers (Kilmersdon: The Powys Press, 1998). A selection of the first eleven years has been published in Petrushka and the Dancer: The diaries of John Cowper Powys 1929-1939, ed. by Morine Krissdóttir (Manchester, New York and Paris, 1995).
