Book excerpt: 2022 Reprint of the 1924 edition. With Twenty-Eight illustrations. Exact facsimile of the original edition and not reproduced with Optical Recognition. "George MacDonald was a Scottish poet, author, and lecturer who wrote many novels, religious texts, and books of poetry. His most lasting works include The Princess and The Goblins, At The Back Of The North Wind, Phantastes, and Lilith. He directly influenced Lewis Carroll's writing and the publishing of Alice In Wonderland. C.S. Lewis would one day claim that Phantastes provided a baptism for his imagination. Greville MacDonald's biography of his father (and mother) is extensive. It is a step-by-step look at every turn of events leading to and throughout their lives, and it's really a good read for anyone with a knack for history in general. It also provides great insights not only to MacDonald's faith and perspectives, but as to the hard lifestyle that he chose and which sometimes seems to have chosen him. He was a starving artist most of his life, even with friends like Twain, Ruskin, Carroll, and Tennyson and a pension from the Queen. Unlike most artists, he raised about a dozen kids, along with and occasional orphan or street urchin. MacDonald's family life was his world, and one into which he and his wife brought dozens of lifelong friends, who play heavily throughout the text....Luckily, the book is laden with text from many personal letters.... He deals often with poverty, often with death close at hand, often with disabling sickness, and often with misunderstanding of his work. Yet always he maintains an otherworldly self-possession, a capacity at least toward outward insistence on the rejuvenation of all things through the cleansing of death that brings new life. As I read this book, I couldn't help marveling at how much I could use a MacDonald in my daily life, coaching me on through my trials, my misgivings, and my fear of death. This book may hit close to home." Review article by https: //mlanders.com/2015/06/04/book-review-george-macdonald-and-his-wife-by-greville-macdonald/

Download or read book Haunted Childhoods in George MacDonald written by John Patrick Pazdziora and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2020-08-25 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George MacDonald is generally remembered as a benevolent preacher who wrote fairy-tale books for children. Closer reading, however, reveals one of the most startlingly inventive, slyly subversive Scottish writers of the nineteenth century. His writings for children emerged from his own long struggle with faith and doubt in the face of multiple bereavements, chronic illness, and the persistent threat of early death. Haunted Childhoods in George MacDonald reconsiders death and divine love in MacDonald’s writings for children. It examines his private letters and public sermons, obscure early writings, and most beloved stories. Setting his work alongside texts by James Hogg and Andrew Lang, it argues that MacDonald appropriated traditional Scottish folk narratives to help child readers apprehend his mystically-inclined understanding of mortality.

Download or read book The Complete Fairy Tales written by George MacDonald and published by Penguin. This book was released on 1999-09-01 with total page 385 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: George MacDonald occupied a major position in the intellectual life of his Victorian contemporaries. This volume brings together all eleven of his shorter fairy stories as well as his essay "The Fantastic Imagination". The subjects are those of traditional fantasy: good and wicked fairies, children embarking on elaborate quests, and journeys into unsettling dreamworlds. Within this familiar imaginative landscape, his children's stories were profoundly experimental, questioning the association of childhood with purity and innocence, and the need to separate fairy tale wonder from adult scepticism and disbelief.

Download or read book C.S. Lewis Called Him Master written by Charles Seper and published by Victor Broadstreet & Johnson. This book was released on 2007-06 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many readers come to George MacDonald's fantasy literature by way of C.S. Lewis who lauded him as, "my master", or G.K. Chesterton who referred to him as one of the three or four greatest men of the 19th century. However, MacDonald's stories are so complex, so full of twofold meanings, symbolical, metaphorical, and parabolic that many, if not most, readers find themselves perplexed after first coming upon him. "C.S. Lewis Called Him Master" attempts to explain the obscurity behind many of the passages in MacDonald's only two fantasies written for adults, "Lilith", and "Phantastes", while also providing the reader with a brief, but adequate, examination of George MacDonald's life and work. Also contained therein are several rare photos of the MacDonald family, many of them taken by fellow author and family friend Lewis Carroll. "C.S. Lewis Called Him Master" is an essential biography and study aid for students of George MacDonald's most intense works.

Download or read book Waking the Dead written by Dean Hardy and published by . This book was released on 2020-08-06 with total page 242 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Interest in George MacDonald, a 19th century Scottish writer, has flourished in recent decades. Known primarily as a pioneer in fantasy literature, he is equally revered as a Victorian sage whose sermons greatly influenced C.S. Lewis. However, while literary studies on MacDonald abound, there are few attempts to explore MacDonald's philosophical thought. Because MacDonald avoided being stereotyped - he often eludes classification in the fields of theology and philosophy. Moreover, his style of writing can border on the mystical. But was MacDonald truly a mystic? He shares the Romanticist's interest in intuitive knowledge and borrowed freely from Neo-Platonists and mythic writers and poets of the past. In Waking the Dead, author Dean Hardy offers a pioneering study of MacDonald's theological and philosophical foundations as well as his methods as a Christian apologist. In doing so, this book presents MacDonald as a successful model for Christians today.
