“each of Dunsany’s works must be studied individually for the philosophy imbedded in it.”
― S.T. Joshi, The Weird Tale: Arthur Machen/Lord Dunsany/Algernon Blackwood/M. R. James/Ambrose Bierce/H. P. Lovecraft

“did it ever occur to you, my friend, that force and matter are merely the barriers to perception imposed by time and space?”
― Henry Bartholomew, Dangerous Dimensions: Mind-bending Tales of the Mathematical Weird

“all this points to a truth so obvious that many seem not to have realised it—that horror or fantasy is almost entirely a matter of approach rather than of subject matter.”
― S.T. Joshi, The Weird Tale: Arthur Machen/Lord Dunsany/Algernon Blackwood/M. R. James/Ambrose Bierce/H. P. Lovecraft

“Like Lovecraft, like Machen, Dunsany claimed aesthetic independence from his time and culture, became a sharp and unrelenting critic of the industrialism and plebeianism that were shattering the beauty both of literature and of the world, wrote works almost obtrusively and aggressively unpopular in tone and import yet retained a surprising popularity—at least in terms of the sale of his work—through the whole of his career.”
