Machen: At a Man's Table

During 1928, Arthur Machen had a short-lived column in The Sunday Express entitled At a Man's Table, covering the subject of food. Darkly Bright Press has collected these thirteen essays (plus a few more from the same paper, including one missed by Machen's bibliographers), while adding several more of Machen's related writings, most preceding his column in time, but one dates from after it. 

Thus you have a one-hundred-plus paged assembly, curated nicely by Christopher Tompkins, and including Tompkin's introduction which gives context to everything. 

The essays open with Machen's introduction to a centenary edition of  The Physiology of Taste, translated into English for the first time. In the essays themselves, Machen's devotion to curry is well exemplified (including his recipe), and he often reflects on a food's relevance to literature. The pieces from The Sunday Express also include the illustrations by Stuart Parker which originally accompanied the column.

Darkly Bright Press has issued it presently as a limited hardcover. Ordering details can be found here.
