Then, suddenly, he discovered he was a star. His 1890s stories had been discovered by a generation of young Americans who, after the end of the war, had embraced many of the aims and interests of British 1890s aestheticism. Vincent Starrett, James Branch Cabell and Carl Van Vechten were three of the most influential Americans to proselytize for Machen's fiction, and to suggest that he had not been honoured in his native country as he should have been. The American fever for Machen's work quickly recrossed the Atlantic, and the first half of the 1920s saw the publication on a large scale, in Britain and in the United States, both of Machen's new, autobiographical work and of his earlier stories. For a brief time, everything Machen could write was greedily snapped up."),"\n",i.createElement(n.p,null,"On both sides of the Atlantic, Machen became something of a household name. However, he did not command the same affection from the same kind of public in Britain and America. In the United States he was admired by academics, and seen even in middle age as something of an avant-garde phenomenon: in Britain, on the other hand, both academics and avant-garde were by now embracing a literary modernism whose agendas left no place for Machen's kind of fantasy work, which was often condemned as mere genre-writing. Machen's followers in Britain were often dedicated anti-materialists, and his work was admired as much for the causes he championed as for the sheer quality of his writing."))}n.default=function(e){void 0===e&&(e={});const{wrapper:n}=Object.assign({},(0,t.RP)(),e.components);return n?i.createElement(n,e,i.createElement(o,e)):o(e)}},8453:function(e,n,a){a.d(n,{RP:function(){return o}});var t=a(6540);const i=t.createContext({});function o(e){const n=t.useContext(i);return t.useMemo((()=>"function"==typeof e?e(n):{...n,...e}),[n,e])}}}]); 2//# sourceMappingURL=component---src-pages-biography-success-md-bf7eedbab4d7a891ef5a.js.map
