Machen, Arthur 3 March 1863 - 30 March 1947 A Welsh writer who spent much of his adult life in London, Machen devoted many of his supernaturalist works to an exploration of a mythic vein of the post-Gothic. His works have frequent recourse to the idea that some vestige of a primitive, malefic, pre-Christian "Little People" has survived into the present, and Machen explores the metaphysical implications of this possibility with gusto. Largely eschewing the mid- to late-Victorian interest in the psychological implications of the supernatural, Machen set the stage for the Cthulhu horrors of Lovecraft and others at the same time that his work testifies to the demise of Victorian complacency.

Perhaps by now you are wondering... ...Who was Arthur Machen? He was a writer of fantastic and supernatural fiction. He was a leading practitioner of the decadence of 1890s London. His tales of supernatural horror explored darkly pagan themes. His novel The Hill of Dreams is perhaps the finest exploration ever written of the theme of the accursed artist. His 1914 short story The Bowmen gave rise to the World War One legend of The Angels of Mons. His writing powerfully evokes both the wildness of his native Wales , and the phantasmagorical sublimity of late Victorian London In his essays and journalism he was a ceaseless propagandist against economic and scientific materialism Machen's work, both fiction and non-fiction, enjoyed high prestige both in Britain and America in the early part of this century, but the rise of modernist taste in fiction led to something of an eclipse of his reputation. Many today have come to his writing by chance, through an interest in horror and the supernatural, or in the writers of the 1890s, and have come to believe he should be recognized as a canonical writer, his reputation equal to that of currently more famous contemporaries such as Arthur Conan Doyle and Robert Louis Stevenson. The Friends Of Arthur Machen is a fellowship which exists to foster interest in Machen and his work, to aid research, and for the pleasure of its members.

12. Arthur Machen A brief biography and bibliography of the writings of arthur machen, one of the modern masters of supernatural fiction. New and Recent Publications. machen, arthur. Far Off Things Everyman http://www.creative.net/~alang/lit/horror/machen.sht

Arthur Machen B orn Arthur Llewellyn Jones in Caerleon-on-Usk, Wales, Machen was the author of "The Great God Pan" (1894), The Three Imposters (1890) (an episode novel containing "The Novel of the White Powder", "The Novel of the Black Seal," and others), The Hill of Dreams The Terror (1917) and other supernatural horror. His adopted surname is pronounced mack'n (rhymes with "blacken"). He was also an essayist, a journalist, a Shakespearean actor, an occultist (he was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn along with Blackwood, Yeats, and Aleister Crowley), and a translator (of Cassanova's Memoirs , Beroalde de Verville's Moyen de Parvenir (Fantastic Tales) , and the Heptameron of Marguerite, Queen of Navarre). His autobiography was issued in three volumes beginning with Far Off Things in 1922 (the title is borrowed from Wordsworth). By the estimate of many, Machen deserves a premier place among the best of his field. Lovecraft counted him foremost of the four "modern masters" of supernatural horror (with Algernon Blackwood, Lord Dunsany, and M. R. James): "Of living creators of cosmic fear raised to its most artistic pitch, few if any can hope to equal the versatile Arthur Machen, ... master of an exquisitely lyrical and expressive prose style." Lovecraft ranked Machen's story "The White People" a close second to Blackwood's "The Willows" as the best weird story ever written. On the other hand, Carl van Vechten considered the highly autobiographical Hill of Dreams to be Machen's masterpiece; Machen said he had intended it to be "a Robinson Crusoe of the mind" and "an interior tale of the soul and its emotions." Fantasy connoisseur Lin Carter called Machen "one of the noblest stylistic masters of the English language in our century." And genre historian E. F. Bleiler listed him as "probably the outstanding British writer of

15. Arthur Machen By M.P. Shiel A brief commentary on the author and his works, originally written and published in 1925. http://www.mtroyal.ab.ca/programs/arts/english/gaslight/remachen.htm

The following is a Gaslight etext.... A message to you about Arthur Machen by M.P. Shiel written for The Borzoi 1925: being a sort of record of ten years of publishing reprinted as "ON SCHOLAR-ARTISTRY (The Writings of Arthur Machen)" in Science, life and literature Williams and Norgate Ltd: London (1950) OF LIVING people known to me none I think more, so he has no time, is too preoccupied with seeing to feel, and here is where the artist comes neatly in to rescue me, he having heard what the scientist says, having time, too, to admire, and to tell of it in innuendoes, with winks, saying: "It is not dull! I know a thing or two, I know a bank whereon the wild thyme grows!" And if one asks him: "But is that all?" he winks at one, saying: "Enough said; I give you a hint: eye has not seen, never heart fancied; tolling melodious notes, wrung with emotion, it rolls; fairy! drunken! enough said." But is it true? Fairy? If it is a fancy, then it is not of the least interest or importance; but the scientist says "yes, a fact", and the artist with streaming tears calls God to witness it. The scientist's part in art, however, is not seen by Machen, who conceives that art preceded science, that "poetry has nothing to do with scientific truths", does not, in fact, quite know what science is , thinks that the fact "A loves B" is "a scientific truth", so does not know that science is the

Machen's Life and Times Childhood in Wales He was born in Caerleon on Usk, in the county of Gwent, South Wales, in 1863, and christened Arthur Llewellyn Jones. His father, John Edward Jones (Machen was his mother's maiden name), was an Anglican priest, Vicar of the tiny church of Llandewi, near Caerleon, and the boy was raised at the rectory there. A solitary child, he learned first to love the gentle slopes of the nearby Soar Brook, then later the more awesome fastnesses of the Black Mountains which lay to the north, the ancient forest of Wentwood and the remoter Severn Valley. Though he returned only rarely to Gwent in later life, his work continually evoked its darker landscapes, often as a prelude to either wonder or terror. The child was awed, too, by the findings of local archaeologists, who in those days were digging up strange pagan sculptures from the time of the Roman occupation of the region. Machen's grandfather had found Roman inscriptions and carving in his own Caerleon churchyard, and the boy's imagination was captured early by the sense that the ground itself was haunted with a tangible strangeness - an intuition on which he drew for much of his best fiction writing. The Romano-British god Nodens, whose temple was excavated at nearby Lydney Park in his boyhood, turns up in some of his most memorable horror fiction. At the age of eleven he was sent to Hereford Cathedral School, where he received the standard classical education appropriate to a middle class boy. He was an able pupil, but remained an aloof one, interested already in the strange and arcane byways of literature and history. Despite his evident scholarly ability, his parents were not rich enough to send him to Oxford in his father's footsteps. After some false starts and after his (anonymous) first publication of
