A Voyage to Arcturus: An Illuminated Edition

David Lindsay, though regarded as a profoundly influential author of sci-fi and visionary fiction, struggled to publish during his life. His first novel, A Voyage to Arcturus, didn’t see print until his mid-40s, and he saw very little critical or commercial success as a writer. He died in 1945, leaving behind several more unpublished manuscripts and an unfinished novel. A year after his death, Arcturus was republished. Bolstered by praise from authors and critics including C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, its popularity spurred republications of Lindsay’s other titles and the publication of his previously unpublished works, including his unfinished final novel The Witch. Experimental in both form and content, Lindsay’s novels may not have found their readership while he was alive, but today, they are recognized and praised for their singular vision, deep impact on multiple genres, and unique blend of fantasy, philosophy, and science-fiction.
