Un roman néo-gothique : The Three Impostors d’Arthur Machen (1895) by Claire Wrobel

“…The contemporary threats of New Women and democratization are casually brushed aside, but Machen fully draws upon the anxiety generated by the possibility of reversion opened up by the theory of evolution and explored by anthropologists and criminologists.
