Scope and content
Diary of John Cowper Powys for the period 1 June-31 December 1929, the first in an unbroken series that ends in 1961 (see NLW MSS 22206-41B). Commencing with his departure from New York on a visit to England, it was probably started for the benefit of his companion, Phyllis Playter, who remained in the USA (cf. NLW MS 23172C, f. 7). The diary also includes accounts and miscellaneous jottings (f. iv; pp. 1, 5, 14-19, 46, 400). Selections from the diary have 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).
