The house of his birth, opposite the Olde Bull Inn in The Square at Caerleon, is adjacent to the Priory Hotel and is today marked with a commemorative blue plaque.

The beautiful landscape of Monmouthshire which he usually referred to by the name of the medieval Welsh kingdom, Gwent , with its associations of Celtic , Roman , and medieval history, made a powerful impression on him, and his love of it is at the heart of many of his works.

Machen was descended from a long line of clergymen, the family having originated in Carmarthenshire. Local historian and folklorist Fred Hando traces Machen's interest in the occult to a volume of Household Words in his father's rectory library, in which he read, at the age of eight, an entrancing article on alchemy.

Hando recounts Machen's other early reading:. Gwyn, of Llanfrechfa Rectory. In his father's library he found also the Waverley Novels , a three-volume edition of the Glossary of Gothic Architecture , and an early volume of Tennyson.

At the age of eleven, Machen boarded at Hereford Cathedral School , where he received an excellent classical education. Family poverty ruled out attendance at university, and Machen was sent to London, where he sat exams to attend medical school but failed to get in.

Machen, however, showed literary promise, publishing in a long poem "Eleusinia" on the subject of the Eleusinian Mysteries.

Returning to London, he lived in relative poverty, attempting to work as a journalist, as a publisher's clerk, and as a children's tutor while writing in the evening and going on long rambling walks across London.

In he published his second work, the pastiche The Anatomy of Tobacco , and secured work with the publisher and bookseller George Redway as a cataloguer and magazine editor.

Machen's translations in a spirited English style became standard ones for many years. In , the year his father died, [2] Machen married Amelia Amy Hogg, an unconventional music teacher with a passion for the theatre, who had literary friends in London's bohemian circles.

Hogg had introduced Machen to the writer and occultist A. Waite , who was to become one of Machen's closest friends.

Machen also made the acquaintance of other literary figures, such as M. Shiel and Edgar Jepson. Soon after his marriage, Machen began to receive a series of legacies from Scottish relatives that allowed him to gradually devote more time to writing.

Around Machen began to publish in literary magazines, writing stories influenced by the works of Robert Louis Stevenson , some of which used gothic or fantastic themes.

This led to his first major success, The Great God Pan. It was published in by John Lane in the noted Keynotes Series, which was part of the growing aesthetic movement of the time.

Machen's story was widely denounced for its sexual and horrific content and consequently sold well, going into a second edition. Machen next produced The Three Impostors , a novel composed of a number of interwoven tales, in The novel and the stories within it were eventually to be regarded as among Machen's best works.

However, following the scandal surrounding Oscar Wilde later that year, Machen's association with works of decadent horror made it difficult for him to find a publisher for new works.

Thus, though he would write some of his greatest works over the next few years, some were published much later. In , Machen's wife Amy died of cancer after a long period of illness.

This had a devastating effect on Machen. He only gradually recovered from his loss over the next year, partially through his close friendship with A.

It was through Waite's influence that Machen joined at this time the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn , though Machen's interest in the organization was not lasting or very deep.

Machen's recovery was further helped by his sudden change of career, becoming an actor in and a member of Frank Benson 's company of travelling players, a profession which took him round the country.

This led in to a second marriage, to Dorothie Purefoy Hudleston, which brought Machen much happiness.

Machen managed to find a publisher in for his earlier written work Hieroglyphics , an analysis of the nature of literature, which concluded that true literature must convey "ecstasy".

In Machen's literary career began once more to flourish as the book The House of Souls collected his most notable works of the nineties and brought them to a new audience.

He also published a satirical work, Dr Stiggins: His Views and Principles , generally considered one of his weakest works. Publishing his views in Lord Alfred Douglas 's The Academy , for which he wrote regularly, Machen concluded that the legends of the Grail actually were based on dim recollections of the rites of the Celtic Church.

In , The Hill of Dreams , generally considered Machen's masterpiece, was finally published, though it was not recognized much at the time.

The next few years saw Machen continue with acting in various companies and with journalistic work, but he was finding it increasingly hard to earn a living and his legacies were long exhausted.

Machen was also attending literary gatherings such as the New Bohemians and the Square Club. Nearly done. Copy link Link copied to clipboard.
