Arthur Machen
Arthur Machen (Arthur Llewelyn Jones), a Welsh author of supernatural, fantasy, and horror fiction, was born on March 3, 1863. He grew up in Caerleon, Monmouthshire, and attended boarding school at Hereford Cathedral School. He moved to London in 1881 and worked as a journalist, children's tutor, and publisher's clerk, finding time to write at night. By 1894, Machen had his first major success.
The Great God Pan was published by John Lane, and despite widespread criticism for its sexual and horrific content, it sold well and went into a second edition. In the 1920s Machen's work became immensely popular in the United States, but Machen experienced increasing poverty; he was saved in 1931 by receiving a Civil List pension from the British government. Arthur Machen died on March 30, 1947.
Samenvatting
ARTHUR MACHEN was a Welsh author and mystic of the1890s and early 20th century. He is best known for his influentialsupernatural, fantasy, and horror fiction.From the beginning of his literary career, Machen espoused amystical belief that the humdrum ordinary world hid a moremysterious and strange world beyond. His gothic and decadentworks of the 1890s concluded that the lifting of this veil couldlead to madness, sex, or death, and usually a combination of allthree. Machen's later works became somewhat less obviously fullof gothic trappings, but for him investigations into mysteriesinvariably resulted in life-changing transformation and sacrifice.Machen loved the medieval world view because he felt itcombined deep spirituality alongside a rambunctious earthiness.
