A unique, timeless work and a masterpiece of religious allegory
T F Powys was a member of a distinguished literary family and the descendant of three generations of country parson. Although born in Derbyshire he spent almost the whole of his life in a remote Dorset village, where all his works were written. He died in 1953.
Mr Weston's Good Wine is a book without parallel. It is an
allegory, it is a bucolic farce, it is a religious (or
anti-religious?) masterpiece
*Daily Telegraph*
The greatest value of his work, though, is in showing that it is
still possible to write about the primordial human experiences to
which religion is a response...Very few 20th-century authors have
the knack of writing convincingly of first and last things. A
religious writer without any vestige of belief, Theodore Powys is
one of them
*New Statesman*
Grimly brilliant
*Sunday Times*
[It is] generally considered his masterpiece
*Washington Post*
A writer who far outshone his contemporaries
*Spectator*
