Unabridged (100% Original content) Font adjustments & biography included Illustrated The Great God Pan by Arthur Machen "The Great God Pan" is a novella by Welsh writer Arthur Machen. Machen's story was only one of many at the time to focus on the Greek God Pan as a useful symbol for the power of nature and paganism. The title was possibly inspired by the poem "A Musical Instrument" published in 1862 by Elizabeth Barrett Browning, in which the first line of every stanza ends "... the great god Pan." The Great God Pan was brought to the stage in 2008 by the WildClaw Theatre Company in Chicago. It was adapted and directed by WildClaw artistic director Charley Sherman. "The Great God Pan" was highly influential on the circle of writers around H. P. Lovecraft. The story's depiction of a monstrous half-human hybrid inspired the plot of Lovecraft's The Dunwich Horror (1928), which refers by name to Machen's story. According to Lovecraft scholar Robert M. Price, "The Dunwich Horror is in every sense an homage to Machen and even a pastiche. There is little in Lovecraft's wonderful story that does not come directly out of Machen's fiction."
