Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Hill of Dreams" by Arthur Machen is a semi-autobiographical novel written between 1895 and 1897. It follows Lucian Taylor, a young man who experiences strange, sensual visions at an ancient Roman fort in rural Wales. Moving to London, he struggles in poverty while pursuing his dreams of becoming a writer. The novel explores the figure of the doomed artist, caught between mystical imaginings and harsh reality, blending decadent aestheticism with Machen's own spiritual preoccupations.
