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 ofthe 1890s and early 20th century. He is best known forhis influential supernatural, fantasy, and horror fiction.From the beginning of his literary career, Machenespoused a mystical belief that the humdrum ordinaryworld hid a moremysterious and strange world beyond. His gothic anddecadent works of the 1890s concluded that the lifting ofthis veil could lead to madness, sex, or death, and usuallya combination of all three. Machen's later works becamesomewhat less obviously full of gothic trappings, but forhim investigations into mysteries invariably resulted inlife-changing transformation and sacrifice. Machen lovedthe medieval world view because he felt it combineddeep spirituality alongside a rambunctious earthiness.
