Riassunto

From the beginning of his literary career, Machen espoused amystical belief that the humdrum ordinary world hid a moremysterious and strange world beyond. His gothic and decadentworks of the 1890s concluded that the lifting of this veil could leadto madness, sex, or death, and usually a combination of all three.Machen's later works became somewhat less obviously full of gothictrappings, but for him investigations into mysteries invariablyresulted in life-changing transformation and sacrifice. Machen lovedthe medieval world view because he felt it combined deepspirituality alongside a rambunctious earthiness.
