The Secret Glory

About this book

The Secret Glory is a unique, semi-autobiographical novel by Arthur Machen that explores his lifelong themes of hidden knowledge, spiritual ecstasy, and the persistence of ancient Celtic and Christian mysticism in the modern world.

The novel follows the life of Ambrose Meyrick, a sensitive and solitary boy who is forced to attend a bleak, repressive English boarding school. While the school attempts to crush his spirit with dull routine and shallow religiosity, Ambrose discovers an inner world of profound spiritual truth.

The Secret Glory is Machen's most personal work, a meditative novel that serves as a powerful testament to the necessity of a hidden, individual connection to the sublime in a world increasingly dominated by the mundane and the material.
