  • 'Determined to Be Weird': British Weird Fiction Before Weird Tales
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Online Repository of Birkbeck Institutional Theses Birkbeck, University of London ‘Determined to be Weird’: British Weird Fiction before Weird Tales James Fabian Machin Submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy June 2016 1 Declaration I, James Fabian Machin, declare that this thesis is all my own work. Signature_______________________________________ Date____________________ 2 Abstract Weird fiction is a mode in the Gothic lineage, cognate with horror, particularly associated with the early twentieth-century pulp writing of H. P. Lovecraft and others for Weird Tales magazine. However, the roots of the weird lie earlier and late-Victorian British and Edwardian writers such as Arthur Machen, Count Stenbock, M. P. Shiel, and John Buchan created varyingly influential iterations of the mode. This thesis is predicated on an argument that Lovecraft’s recent rehabilitation into the western canon, together with his ongoing and arguably ever-increasing impact on popular culture, demands an examination of the earlier weird fiction that fed into and resulted in Lovecraft’s work. Although there is a focus on the literary fields of the fin de siècle and early twentieth century, by tracking the mutable reputations and critical regard of these early exponents of weird fiction, this thesis engages with broader contextual questions of cultural value and distinction; of notions of elitism and popularity, tensions between genre and literary fiction, and the high/low cultural divide allegedly precipitated by Modernism. 3 Table of Contents Acknowledgements ....................................................................................... 5 Introduction .................................................................................................. 6 Chapter 1: The Wyrd, the Weird-like, and the Weird ..............................

  • Lost Races, Which in Turn Are Often Utopian Fictions
    1 About Catalogue VIII We visited with George Locke recently, who’s doing well, and picked up six boxes of Lost Race novels. The following catalogue, our ninth, is the result. We’ve taken a little time out to read a chapter here and there of some of the stories herein. Some are pretty good, some are quite poor. Either way, they deserve to be remembered. Many of the titles herewith are genuinely rare. We’ve located copies of all of them somewhere, mostly in libraries. Many are in Blieler’s Checklist, nearly all are in Locke’s Spectrum, as they should be as George’s collection is where most of the copies have been plucked from. John Clute and John Grants’ Encyclopaedia has been essential too in the cataloguing, as has Lloyd Currey’s extensive stock. George collected these over several decades, and it would be an injustice to not commemorate that in some way. The very fact that each title has included a brief synopsis is testament to the import of George’s contribution to the genre. There are 28 items in this catalogue, all revolving around Lost Races, which in turn are often utopian fictions. Supplementary to these items are a few dozen books grouped into one lot primarily for ease of cataloguing and value. They would make an excellent starter for a collector with an interest in the area. The Lost Race subgenre has certainly tailed off over the last few decades. Greater exploration beyond and within earth’s bounds, satellite mapping and easier communication has meant that the notion of finding a lost race on or within earth is less plausible and stories therefore become more twee.

  • Redefining Humanity in Science Fiction: the Alien from an Ecofeminist Perspective
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Biblioteca Digital de la Universidad de Alcalá REDEFINING HUMANITY IN SCIENCE FICTION: THE ALIEN FROM AN ECOFEMINIST PERSPECTIVE By Irene Sanz Alonso Under the supervision of Dr. Carmen Flys Junquera Instituto Franklin – Universidad de Alcalá 2013 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS After all these five years, I have come to see the writing of this dissertation as some sort of intergalactic journey and this book as a spaceship arriving at its final destination. As any journey across the universe, my research started with fear and doubts, but it finally ended in success thanks to all those people who supported me along the way. Continuing with the intergalactic metaphor, I would like to thank the sponsors and patrons that made this adventure possible by providing the spaceship and the fuel for my journey. This dissertation would not have been possible without the grant I was awarded by the Autonomous Region of Madrid in 2007, which enabled me to focus on my research for four years as a researcher at the University of Alcalá. I also want to highlight the support of the Franklin Institute of the University of Alcalá, whose resources were of great help, and whose grant Eleanor Roosevelt made the binding of this dissertation possible. I am also indebted to the whole team of “engineers” whose knowledge helped me with the doubts that appeared throughout my journey. The arrival to my destination would not have been so successful without the support from the members of the research group GIECO, who are not only colleagues but good friends.
