T F Powys
Biography
T F Powys was born in 1875 in Shirley, Derbyshire, the son of a vicar. He was the brother of John Cowper Powys and Llewellyn Powys. He spent much of his adult life in East Chaldon, Dorset and used the village for much of his settings. He was a very religious man and his religion had a major influence on his writings. Apart from, perhaps, Mr. Weston’s Good Wine, Powys is scarcely read nowadays, his reputation overshadowed by his brother’s.
