dbo:abstract
  • Wolf Solent ist der Titel eines 1929 in New York und London und 1930 erstmals in deutscher Übersetzung erschienenen Romans von John Cowper Powys und der Name des Protagonisten. Das umfangreiche, während eines längeren Aufenthalts von Powys in den USA verfasste Werk zählt zu den wichtigen, aber in Deutschland wenig bekannten und heute nur noch selten gelesenen englischen Romanen des 20. Jahrhunderts. Hinter der Fassade eines Entwicklungsromans, in dessen Fortgang der Protagonist immer tiefer in Skandalgeschichten verstrickt und zwischen zwei Frauen hin- und hergerissen ist, werden eine radikale Haltung und eine skeptische Weltanschauung des Autors deutlich, die das Streben nach intensiven subjektiven, ja mystischen Empfindungen über alle bürgerlichen Konventionen in den Mittelpunkt seines Lebens stellt und zugleich an dieser Empfänglichkeit leidet.

Wolf resembles John Cowper Powys in that an elemental philosophy is at the centre of his life and, because, like Powys, he hates science and modern inventions like cars and planes, and is attracted to slender, androgynous women. Wolf Solent is the first of Powys's four Wessex novels. Powys both wrote about the same region as Thomas Hardy and was a twentieth-century successor to the great nineteenth-century novelist. The novel is set in the fictional towns of Ramsgard, Dorset, based on Sherborne, Dorset, where Powys attended school from May 1883, Blacksod, modelled on Yeovil, Somerset, and Kings Barton, modelled on Bradford Abbas, Dorset. It has references to other places in Dorset like Dorchester and Weymouth that were also full of memories for Powys. (en)
