Two Aids to the Reading of Porius
The first and more important of these aids is entitled "John Cowper Powys's Porius: A Reader's Companion". It is an alphabetical listing along the lines of the late Robert Kunkel's "John Cowper Powys's Porius: A Partial Glossary of Proper Names" published in the 1998 Powys Journal, and attempts in addition to identify literary and biblical quotations, to explain references in Welsh, Greek, Latin and other languages, with added information Professor Keith found helpful in coming to terms with the novel/romance. The annotations are keyed to the complete text of Porius published by Colgate University Press in 1994. The 48 page A4 document includes 1174 entries as a 400 kbytes PDF file, dated December 2005
The second document entitled "The Text of Porius: Corrections and Emendations" is a listing by page- and line-number offering corrections to the imperfect text of this 1994 edition as a 74 page, 124 kbytes PDF file, dated May 2004.
