Soft Cover. Condition: Very Good Plus. First Edition. Soft cover, 8vo in publisher's stapled wraps. COLLATION: 281-327 [1] pp. CONDITION: Very Good Plus. Some light creases to corners of pages. Light wear to covers. ** Special Arthur Machen edition of the quarterly magazine, the Aylesford Review. Contains a biography of Machen by Wesley D, Sweetser, published in 1964 as the preface to an Arthur Machen bibliography. In this essay, we learn of Machen's upbringing in rural Wales, and his wanderings in the hills of Gwent, which were to fire his imagination with images of pagan rites and symbols. From there, Machen went to London to "seek his fortune", and yet found himself in yet another labyrinth of paths, only now the streets of London saw his daily wandering walks, fueled by green tea and a literary thirst. Machen's autobiographies, "Far Off Things" (1922), "Things Near and Far" (1923), and "The London Adventure" (1924) are among the best of his works. ** Other essays in this issue of the Aylesford Review are: "His Ideas and Beliefs" by Brocard Sewell, "Men About Machen" by Adrian Goldstone, "Memories of Machen" by C.A. and Anthony Lejeune, and "Machen in Fleet Street" by Maurice Spurway. ** The Aylesford Review was established by the Carmelite priest Brocard Sewell, born Michael Seymour Gerveys Sewell (1912-2000). Sewell used the Aylesford Review to promote a number of lesser-known writers, such as Arthur Machen, Elizabeth Myers, Henry Williamson, John Gray, Theodore Francis Powys and Montague Summers.
