- Summary:
- "Arthur Machen's The Three Impostors (1895) occupies a unique place in literary history, both profoundly implicated in its time and everywhere gesturing beyond it. First published as part of John Lane's distinguished Keynotes series, it is a fine specimen of fin-de-sïcle Decadent writing that shares characteristics of science fiction, detective fiction, horror, and supernatural tales, Victorian gothic, and even it-narratives. This Broadview Edition brings this bizarre and entertaining, if at times darkly disturbing, novel to undergraduate and graduate classrooms, showcasing Machen's place in the infamous fin de sïcle and his lasting influence on some of the most popular genres of our own time."-- Provided by publisher.
