Overview
Hieroglyphics: A Note Upon Ecstasy In Literature is a book written by Arthur Machen, a Welsh author and mystic. The book explores the concept of ecstasy in literature, particularly in the context of the supernatural and the mystical. Machen argues that literature has the power to transport readers to a state of ecstasy, which he defines as a heightened sense of awareness and perception that transcends the mundane world. He draws on examples from a variety of literary genres, including poetry, drama, and prose fiction, to illustrate his points. Machen also delves into the symbolism and imagery of various mystical traditions, such as alchemy and Kabbalah, to further explore the theme of ecstasy in literature. This book is a fascinating exploration of the power of literature to inspire and transform readers.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
