Gustav Meyrink (I868-1932) found worldwide critical and commercial acclaim with his first novel The Golem (I9I5), which prior to the Dedalus Meyrink programme has been the only work available in English. It established his reputation as the master of the occult and the grotesque.(He was the German translator of Dickens). His reputation declined in his last years but now he is considered as one of the most important German language novelists of the 20th century. Dedalus has made all his major works available in English translation.
In 2008 Dedalus Mike Mitchell's biography of Meyrink, Vivo.
