It investigates the careers and fiction of a range of the British writers who inspired H. P. Lovecraft, such as Arthur Machen, M. P. Shiel, and John Buchan, to shed light on the tensions between 'literary' and 'genre' fiction that continue to this day. \u003ci\u003eWeird Fiction in Britain 1880-1939\u003c\/i\u003e focuses on the key literary and cultural contexts of weird fiction of the period, including Decadence, paganism, and the occult, and discusses how these later impacted on the seminal American pulp magazine \u003ci\u003eWeird Tales\u003c\/i\u003e. This ground-breaking book will appeal to scholars of weird, horror and Gothic fiction, genre studies, Decadence, popular fiction, the occult, and Fin-de-Si鐵le cultural history. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e James Machin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3030080366\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783030080365\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Palgrave MacMillan\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/08\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 259\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.57d","brand":"James Machin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44125929210111,"sku":"9783030080365","price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_309d4d0d-573b-46ae-8f70-b0c85078fdd3.jpg?v=1687445361","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/weird-fiction-in-britain-1880-1939-james-machin-9783030080365","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
