Introduction -- 2. The Weird Fin-De-Siècle and After -- 3. Shiel, Stenbock, Gilchrist, and Machen -- 4. Buchan -- 5. Weird Tales and Pulp Decadence. 330 $aThis book is the first study of how ?weird fiction? emerged from Victorian supernatural literature, abandoning the more conventional Gothic horrors of the past for the contemporary weird tale. It investigates the careers and fiction of a range of the British writers who inspired H. P. Lovecraft, such as Arthur Machen, M. P. Shiel, and John Buchan, to shed light on the tensions between ?literary? and ?genre? fiction that continue to this day. Weird Fiction in Britain 1880?1939 focuses on the key literary and cultural contexts of weird fiction of the period, including Decadence, paganism, and the occult, and discusses how these later impacted on the seminal American pulp magazine Weird Tales. This ground-breaking book will appeal to scholars of weird, horror and Gothic fiction, genre studies, Decadence, popular fiction, the occult, and Fin-de-Siècle cultural history. . 410 0$aPalgrave Gothic,$x2634-6214 606 $aPopular Culture 606 $aGothic fiction (Literary genre) 606 $aPopular Culture $3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/411170 606 $aGothic Fiction$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/825010 615 0$aPopular Culture. 615 0$aGothic fiction (Literary genre). 615 14$aPopular Culture . 615 24$aGothic Fiction. 676 $a823.0872909 700 $aMachin$b James$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0974999 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300035403321 996 $aWeird Fiction in Britain 1880?1939$92220102 997 $aUNINA
