Description

After My Fashion has an unusual publishing history.

Although it was John Cowper Powys' third novel and written in 1920, it wasn't published until 1980.

It seems that when his US publisher turned it down Powys made no effort to place it elsewhere.

Indeed, when Powys had finished a book he tended to be oddly indifferent to its fate.

The novel has two other unusual features: its locations (Sussex and Greenwich Village); and Isadora Duncan being the inspiration for Elise, the dancer and mistress of the protagonist, Richard Storm (based quite largely on Powys himself). As one would expect from Powys the writing is vivid, not least in the descriptions of the Sussex landscape and the bohemian milieu of Greenwich Village.
