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 Baudelaireâan error to which I subscribed until Machen himself disillusioned me, although the assertion is still partially true.\" |
