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.
