Описание:
The works of Anglo-Welsh author Arthur Machen (1863-1947) made an indelible and ever-expanding impression in the genre of horror and the supernatural, and have always inspired both ardent advocates and determined opponents. In the 1890s, Oscar Wilde, Jerome K. Jerome, and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle admired his work, but the majority of critics were hostile, and he was often seen as part of the Decadent movement of the "Yellow 'Nineties." The first section of this critical anthology provides important contextual information about Machen's life and works, and gives a clear impression of how Machen was regarded in the 1920s, when his books began to emerge from the shadows. The following section offers contributions concerned with Machen's role as a figure of the 1890s and a participant in the Decadent movement. The third section presents discussions Machen's interest in ritual magic, occultism, classical mythology, the sublime, and his own individual and particular form of Christianity. In his later work, Machen never lost his deep interest in folklore and popular customs, eccentric characters and curious historical episodes, and the present volume's final section shows how these continued to inform Machen's work right up until his last writing. In sum total, this volume presents an extended critical assessment of Machen's work, early and late.
The volume has been edited by Mark Valentine, a leading authority on Machen, author of Arthur Machen (1995), and editor of Aklo, All Hallows, and Wormwood; and Timothy J. Jarvis, instructor in creative writing and author of the novel The Wanderer (2014) and numerous works of short fiction.

Описание:
Machen's classic defense of orthodox Christianity establishes the importance of scripural doctrine and contrasts the teachings of liberalism and orthodoxy on God and man, the Bible, Christ, salvation, and the church. Though originally published nearly seventy years ago, the book maintains its relevance today.

Описание: John Gresham Machen (1881"€"1937) was one of the most significant figures in the evangelical church throughout the twentieth century. He is best known through his vision for a truly evangelical presbyterian church in the USA, and as the founder of Westminster Theological Seminary, Pennsylvania.
Gifted with an incisive mind which was finely tuned to the highest level of scholarship, he placed above all else his concern for Christ's gospel and the reliability of the Scriptures. For these he was prepared to suffer opposition, abuse, and even rejection.
In the Philadelphia seminary, Machen gathered around him a team of men, including Cornelius Van Til, Paul Woolley, John Murray, and Ned Stonehouse, whose work took on international significance, and brought guidance to Christian scholarship and wisdom to the entire Christian church.

Описание: "Nightmare Alley "begins with an extraordinary description of a freak-show geek—alcoholic and abject and the object of the voyeuristic crowd’s gleeful disgust and derision—going about his work at a county fair. Young Stan Carlisle is working as a carny, and he wonders how a man could fall so low. There’s no way in hell, he vows, that anything like that will ever happen to him. And since Stan is clever and ambitious and not without a useful streak of ruthlessness, soon enough he’s going places. Onstage he plays the mentalist with a cute bimbo (before long his harried wife), then he graduates to full-blown spiritualist, catering to the needs of the rich and gullible in their well-upholstered homes. It looks like the world is Stan’s for the taking. At least for now.
