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

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.'
