A new William Hope Hodgson blog
Welcome to Hodgsoniana, a new blog
about the life and works of author William Hope Hodgson (1877–1918). The aim
of this blog is to provide a home for articles and new research on Hodgson,
details of Hodgson-related happenings, and just generally act as an up-to-date
(hopefully) resource that’s open to anyone interested in this remarkable
literary figure. At time of writing, there is a lack of other active websites
covering this subject, which is why starting a blog seemed a worthwhile
endeavour. At the very least, it gives me a place to post some Hodgson-related
thoughts and findings I’ve been meaning to write up! My hope is that others may
be moved to contribute also.
Before going any further, I want to
recognise the work of the late Hodgson scholar Sam Gafford, and in particular
his excellent Hodgson blog williamhopehodgson.wordpress.com. I first stumbled
upon Sam’s blog back in 2016, and his work opened my eyes to the depths and
complexities of Hodgson’s history and writings. I entered into brief
correspondence with Sam at that time, and his enthusiasm and encouragement were
key factors in starting me on the path of pursuing my own Hodgson studies.
Sam Gafford sadly passed away in
2019, leaving his site dormant. It remains a valuable treasure trove of
information, and I will certainly aspire to follow Sam’s example in exploring
and documenting all matters Hodgson.
2027 will see the 150th anniversary
of William Hope Hodgson’s birth. There is still much to discuss regarding his
work, and many areas of his life remain obscure and in need of further
investigation. I hope this site can help in encouraging and chronicling such
efforts.

(§1º) From the earliest time he could remember, William Stoner had his duties. At the age of six he milked the bony cows, slopped the pigs in the sty a few yards from the house, and gathered small eggs from a flock of spindly chickens. And even when he started attending the rural school eight miles from the farm, his day, from before dawn until after dark, was filled with work of one sort or another. At seventeen his shoulders were already beginning to stoop beneath the weight of his occupation.
(§2º) It was a lonely household, of which he was an only child, and it was bound together by the necessity of its toil. In the evenings the three of them sat in the small kitchen lighted by a single kerosene lamp, staring into the yellow flame; often during the hour or so between supper and bed, the only sound that could be heard was the weary movement of a body in a straight chair and the soft creak of a timber giving a little beneath the age of the house.
(§3º) The house was built in a crude square, and the unpainted timbers sagged around the porch and doors. It had with the years taken on the colors of the dry land—gray and brown, streaked with white. On one side of the house was a long parlor, sparsely furnished with straight chairs and a few hewn tables, and a kitchen, where the family spent most of its little time together. On the other side were two bedrooms, each furnished with an iron bedstead enameled white, a single straight chair, and a table, with a lamp and a wash basin on it. The floors were of unpainted plank, unevenly spaced and cracking with age, up through which dust steadily seeped and was swept back each day by Stoner's mother.
