Arthur Machen

Autor: Antonio Sanna

Número de Páginas: 277

Arthur Machen: Critical Essays offers a study of the works by Arthur Machen (1863-1947), the Welsh writer who has attracted a cult following for decades, especially among fans and scholars of weird fiction and Gothic studies. These essays take readers into different areas and address several topics in Machen's literary production: the literary, the artistic, the scientific, the religious, the socio-cultural, and the personal. The twelve chapters constituting the volume examine the representation of human beings in the writer's works and their relationship with the surrounding environment, whether it is the omnipresent London or the mysterious, menacing nature. The contributors also interpret Machen's writings through a series of disciplines and academic theories that were contemporary to the writer (such as paleontology and medicine) and demonstrate how he was influenced by the scientific discourses of his time and reproduced them in his works. The last section of the volume considers Machen's interest in the occult and mysticism and the religious themes present in many of his works.

La casa de las almas

Autor: Arthur Machen

Número de Páginas: 294

Quizá ninguna otra figura encarne mejor la transición de la tradición gótica al horror moderno que Arthur Machen. En la última década del siglo XIX, el escritor galés produjo un cuerpo seminal de relatos de horror y de lo oculto, de corrupción espiritual y física, y de sobrevivientes malignos del pasado primigenio, que horrorizaron y escandalizaron a los lectores de finales de la era victoriana. La casa de las almas es una colección de cuatro obras maestras del horror y el misterio, publicadas por primera vez en un solo volumen en 1906: "Un fragmento de vida", "La gente blanca", "El gran dios Pan" y "La luz más recóndita". En palabras de Stephen King, ""El gran dios Pan" es el mejor relato de terror que se ha escrito en lengua inglesa"; para Guillermo del Toro, es prueba fehaciente de que "el mal nunca reposa: está gestando". "Arthur Machen puede, alguna vez, proponernos fábulas increíbles, pero sentimos que las ha inspirado una emoción genuina. Casi nunca escribió para el asombro ajeno; lo hizo porque se sabía habitante de un mundo extraño." Jorge Luis Borges "Entre los creadores modernos del horror cósmico elevado a su punto artístico más alto, pocos pueden ...

Arthur Machen A Novelist of Ecstasy and Sin With Two Uncollected Poems by Arthur Machen

Autor: Vincent Starrett

Número de Páginas: 25

Excerpt: "With singular unanimity critics for thirty years have slighted the work of Arthur Machen. A line suffices for him in Holbrook Jackson's "The Eighteen Nineties," and Mr. Blaikie-Murdoch ignores him completely in "The Renaissance of the Nineties"; yet those are the standard works on the period to which, chronologically, at least, Machen belongs. Mr. Turquet-Milnes, with greater appreciation, gives him a half-chapter in his scholarly work, "The Influence of Baudelaire," but even that is made up largely of quotations from "The Hill of Dreams," to prove Machen a descendent of Baudelaire—an error to which I subscribed until Machen himself disillusioned me, although the assertion is still partially true."
