"Arthur Machen: Weaver of Fantasy" by William F. Gekle is a critical survey written in the mid-20th century. This work explores the life and literary contributions of Arthur Machen, a Welsh author known for his unique blend of mysticism and fantasy. The book engages with themes of neglect and appreciation in literature, focusing on Machen's influence and the distinctive qualities of his writing, which often reflects deep ties to his Welsh heritage and the enigmatic landscapes around Caerleon, where he was born. At the start of the book, Gekle presents a preface that delves into the neglect Arthur Machen has faced despite being a pivotal figure among writers of the late 19th century. He sets up a conversation between two characters, with one attempting to introduce the other to Machen's work. Through this dialogue, Gekle highlights Machen's literary significance and establishes a case for renewed appreciation of his oeuvre. The opening chapters recount Machen's early life, his strong connection to the historical and mythical landscape of Gwent, and his initial explorations into writing, leading to his eventual emergence as a distinctive voice in literature.
