The Chronicle of Clemendy – Arthur Machen (1923 Limited Edition)
This rare, exquisitely crafted edition of Machen’s 1888 pseudo-historical romp presents a ribald, Rabelaisian satire set in medieval Wales. Purporting to be a rediscovered 17th-century text, the Chronicle recounts the amorous and wine-soaked adventures of the knights and ladies of Clemendy, blending archaic prose with Machen’s signature occult undertones.
For Machen Enthusiasts:
- The Three Impostors (1895) – Weird tales with similar antiquarian framing.
- The Hill of Dreams (1907) – Machen’s autobiographical decadent novel.
- The King in Yellow (Chambers, 1895) – Comparable fin-de-siècle occult fiction.
