A work of wartime propaganda written whilst Powys was working on the lecturing circuit in the United States. The volume was published by his agent, G. Arnold Shaw who, apart from being a very able manager for Powys, was probably also the most important of his publishers. He was the first to encourage and publish John Cowper, starting with this very volume.
This was also issued in England as
The Menace of German Culture in February, W. Rider and Son, London, 1915 (Rider was the publisher of JCP’s earlier poetry volumes).
The book.
John Cowper Powys,
The War and Culture: A Reply to Professor Münsterberg, G. Arnold Shaw, New York, 1914.
