His father, John Edward Jones, became vicar of the tiny church of Llandewi Fach , near Caerleon, and his son was brought up at the rectory there. Later his father adopted his mother's maiden name, Machen, to inherit a legacy, becoming "Jones-Machen", and his son just used the name Arthur Machen as a pen-name. Machen's love of the beautiful landscape of Monmouthshire with its associations with Celtic Roman , and medieval history made a powerful impression on him which is at the heart of many of his works.

2. The Literary Gothic | Arthur Machen Arthur Machen page at The Literary Gothic, the web s premier guide to Gothic and supernaturalist literature written prior to 1950. http://www.litgothic.com/Authors/machen.html

Machen, Arthur 3 March 1863 - 15 December 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 and self-assurance.

THE BOWMEN by Arthur Machen IT WAS DURING the Retreat of the Eighty Thousand, and the authority of the Censorship is sufficient excuse for not being more explicit. But it was on the most awful day of that awful time, on the day when ruin and disaster came so near that their shadow fell over London far away; and, without any certain news, the hearts of men failed within them and grew faint; as if the agony of the army in the battlefield had entered into their souls. On this dreadful day, then, when three hundred thousand men in arms with all their artillery swelled like a flood against the little English company, there was one point above all other points in our battle line that was for a time in awful danger, not merely of defeat, but of utter annihilation. With the permission of the Censorship and of the military expert, this corner may, perhaps, be described as a salient, and if this angle were crushed and broken, then the English force as a whole would be shattered, the Allied left would be turned, and Sedan would inevitably follow.

He wrote "The Great God Pan" (1894), The Three Imposters (1890) The Hill of Dreams (1907), The Terror (1917). H.P Lovecraft called him a "modern master" of supernatural horror and called "The White People" one of the best weird stories ever written. Here is his story, The White People, first seen in The house of souls, Knopf, New York (1906, 1922 ed.). The White People Arthur Machen PROLOGUE "SORCERY and sanctity," said Ambrose, "these are the only realities. Each is an ecstasy, a withdrawal from the common life." Cotgrave listened, interested. He had been brought by a friend to this mouldering house in a northern suburb, through an old garden to the room where Ambrose the recluse dozed and dreamed over his books. "Yes," he went on, "magic is justified of her children.

13. Arthur Machen A brief biography and bibliography of the writings of arthur machen, one of the modern masters of supernatural fiction. http://alangullette.com/lit/machen/

Arthur Machen B orn Arthur Llewellyn Jones on March 3, 1863 in Caerleon-on-Usk, Wales, Arthur 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"). Machen was also an essayist, journalist, Shakespearean actor, occultist (he was a member of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn along with Blackwood, Yeats, Aleister Crowley, and Machen's friend A.E. Waite), 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

Tenth anniversary relaunch - visit new gallery of images and quotation Perhaps by now you are wondering... ...just who was Arthur Machen? Very briefly, a writer with an unusual ability to touch the twin sublimes of wonder and terror... ...just another cult writer, then? The Friends of Arthur Machen say not. We'd like to point out..... .....that his words echo and return in the mind, in a way more expected of a poet. Try a sample quotation or two .....that his writing has a kind of landscaping power, to evoke both the wildness of his native Wales , and the phantasmagorical sublimity of late Victorian London .....that his novel The Hill of Dreams is perhaps the finest exploration ever written of the theme of the accursed artist. .....that he was a major figure in the decadence of 1890s London. .....that his 1914 short story "The Bowmen" gave rise to the World War One legend of The Angels of Mons. .....that his achievement should rank alongside far better known contemporaries , such as Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Robert Louis Stevenson or Oscar Wilde. The Friends of Arthur Machen (FoAM) is a fellowship which exists to foster interest in Machen and his work, to aid research, and for the pleasure of its members.

A B C D ... Editors ARTHUR MACHEN b.1863 d.1947 Novels Short Stories Biography Arthur Machen was born in Caerleon-on-Usk in South Wales, and looked back upon his youth in this part of the Gwent border country as an inspiration for much of his writing. He moved to London as a young man and spent the greater part of his adult life in the city, at first as a book cataloguer, translator, journalist and, for some years, as an actor. All of his work, from his prose poems through to his journalism are written with an incantatory elegance and beauty. Machen achieved his first success, and notoriety, with The Great God Pan (1894), published in John Lane's Keynotes series with a cover design by Aubrey Beardsley. Although this associated him with the Decadent figures of the 1890s, he did not move in those circles, only meeting Oscar Wilde twice. In this period, however, he wrote arguably his most important work, including the semi-autobiographical novel The Hill of Dreams (not published until 1907) and the prose poems

20. Arthur Machen (1925) 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
