 The Great God Pan" is a novella written by Arthur Machen. A version of the story was published in the magazine Whirlwind in 1890, and Machen revised and extended it for its book publication (together with another story, "The Inmost Light") in 1894. On publication it was widely denounced by the press as degenerate and horrific because of its decadent style and sexual content, although it has since garnered a reputation as a classic of horror. Machen's story was only one of many at the time to focus on Pan as a useful symbol for the power of nature and paganism. The title was taken from the poem "A Musical Instrument" published in 1862 by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, in which the first line of every stanza ends"… the great god Pan.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Arthur Machen

Arthur Machen (1863-1947), de origem galesa, notabilizou-se na escrita de textos de cariz místico. Depois de falhar a entrada na universidade de Medicina, estreou-se na literatura com a publicação de um longo poema. Tornou-se tradutor para garantir o sustento enquanto se dedicava à escrita. Já no século XX, após a morte da mulher, tornou-se actor numa companhia itinerante. Regressou à literatura na primeira década do século XX, tendo encontrado um editor para as obras que escrevera antes. Em 1910 assumiu um cargo a tempo inteiro como jornalista em Londres, do qual foi demitido uma década mais tarde. Na década de 20, Machen conheceu alguns anos de esplendor e reconhecimento, mas rapidamente caiu de novo em dificuldades financeiras.
