Several collections have translated and reproduced Machen's stories. The early 1970s paperback reissue of The Three Impostors in the Ballantine Adult Fantasy series introduced him to a new generation. The tiny press recently published Machen's work. The famous Library of Wales series reissued two volumes of Machen's work in 2010 to commemorate his 150th birthday. Wesley D. Sweetser and S. T. Joshi see Machen's works as a major part of the late Victorian gothic novel revival and the 1890s decadent movement, comparing them to Robert Louis Stevenson's Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, Bram Stoker's Dracula, and Oscar Wilde's The Picture of Dorian Gray. Wilde, Yeats, and Doyle were Machen's fans. He is also included in the best Anglo-Welsh literature studies. Paul-Jean Toulet visited Machen in London and translated "The Great God Pan" into French. Charles Williams, a Machen enthusiast, received inspiration for his novels.
Autorenporträt
Arthur Llewellyn Jones was a Welsh author and mystic who lived from March 3, 1863, to December 15, 1947. Arthur Machen was his pen name. He is best known for writing important horror, fantasy, and magical stories. Stephen King said that his short story "The Great God Pan" (1890 or 1894) was "Maybe the best in the English language." It is considered a classic in the horror genre. Many people read his short story "The Bowmen" as if it were true, which is how the story of the Angels of Mons came to be. Charles Llewelyn Jones was born in Caerleon, Monmouthshire, and became Richard Machen. There is a blue plaque on the house where he was born, which is across the street from the Olde Bull Inn in The Square at Caerleon and next to the Priory Hotel. He often called Monmouthshire by the name of the medieval Welsh kingdom, Gwent. The area's beautiful scenery and Celtic, Roman, and medieval history left a big impact on him, and his love of it is at the heart of many of his works. The Machen family came from Carmarthenshire and had a long history of being priests.
