Its purpose is to identify each publisher involved, the titles that each of them published, the series (where applicable) within which the title was placed, the date of publication, the number of pages, and the price.

  • Memorial Review of “George Macdonald: a Study of Two Novels.” by William Webb, Part of Volume 11 of Romantic Reassessment
    Memorial review of “George MacDonald: A Study of Two Novels.” by William Webb, part of volume 11 of Romantic Reassessment. Salzburg, 1973. Deirdre Hayward illiam Webb’s aim in this study is to examine two “rather neglected”W novels of George MacDonald in order to bring out “what is most characteristic in them of the author’s undoubted genius” (105). He sets out to demonstrate that Mary Marston is “a capable piece of fiction” (58), and his discussion of Home Again, though brief, brings out several interesting features of the novel. I have chosen to comment on aspects of his study which give the reader fresh insights, and illuminate less well-known areas of MacDonald’s writing. The study itself is rather loosely structured, with the plan and links between the topics not always clear; and it is frustrating that Webb almost never gives sources for the many quoted passages, and often drops in references—for example a comparison with Dickens in Hard Times or Our Mutual Friend—without any supporting detail to contextualise his comments. Having said this, I found myself impressed by many of the issues discussed, and interested in the directions (sometimes quite obscure and fascinating) in which he points the reader. Additionally, his exploration of some of the literary sources and artistic relationships recognisable in Mary Marston contribute with some authority to MacDonald scholarship. Webb recognises the influence of seventeenth-century English literature on Mary Marston (1881), and observes that in chapter 11, “William Marston,” where Mary’s father, the saintly William Marston, dies, the theme of poetry is related to the plot (83).

  • The Princess and the Goblin and the Princess and Curdie
    The Princess and the Goblin and The Princess and Curdie Colin Manlove George MacDonald’s The Princess and the Goblin (1872), which first appeared in Good Words for the Young from November 1870 to June 1871, is based on the traditional notion of fairy people trying to kidnap women, and also ultimately stems from myths of subterranean beings stealing people of the surface for their own—notably in the story of Pluto and Proserpina. In MacDonald’s story the goblins live in mines and dig into the house in which young Princess Irene lives, to seize her and make her the wife of their Prince Harelip. This idea is common in Victorian times in the frequent translations of such stories of the Grimms as “Snow White” or “Rumpelstiltskin,” and from Dickens’s “The Sexton and the Goblins” in Pickwick Papers (1838) to Mrs Juliana Horatia Ewing’s “Amelia and the Dwarfs” (1871). Indeed the very year in which The Princess and the Goblin first appeared in book form also saw the publication of Bulwer Lytton’s The Coming Race, the story of a technologically far advanced race living beneath the earth and planning to take over the world. The Victorians, it is well known, were continually and fearfully aware of the potential for revolution among the downtrodden proletariat, for whom their numerous charities were in part sops to Cerberus.1 While MacDonald is rarely political in his writing, in The Princess and the Goblin he does tap into a social current of his age. His temperament, while often socialist towards individuals, is more laissez-faire towards groups.

IMAGINING EVIL: GEORGE MACDONALD’S THE WISE WOMAN: A PARABLE (1875) Colin Manlove George MacDonald has some claim to the title of “a neglected Scottish writer.” A great man and author in his day, he is now largely forgotten in his own country. Only his children’s fairy tales still spark an occasional glimmer of recognition, particularly his At the Back of the North Wind (1870) and The Princess and the Goblin (1872). Recent academic interest in MacDonald as a fantasy writer, and particularly as the forerunner of C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien, has however begun to rescue him from obscurity, particularly in the U.S.. Here I want to carry on this process by showing the power of a story which where noticed is too often condemned—The Wise Woman: A Parable.

  • A Read of at the Back of the North Wind
    A Read��� of At the Back of the North Wind Col�� Ma�love acDonald’s At the Back of the North Wind (1871) was first serialised inM Good Words for the Young under his own editorship, from October 1868 to November 1870. It was his first attempt at writing a full-length “fairy-story” for children, following on his shorter fairy tales—including “The Selfish Giant,” “The Light Princess,” and “The Golden Key”—written between 1862 and 1867, and published in Dealings with the Fairies (1867). At the Back of the North Wind is, in fact, longer than either of the Princess books that were to follow it, The Princess and the Goblin (1872) and The Princess and Curdie (1882). It tells of the boy Diamond’s life as a cabman’s son in a poor area of mid-Victorian London, and of his meetings and adventures with a lady called North Wind; and it includes a separate fairy tale called “Little Daylight,” two dream-stories, and several poems. Generally well received by the public, it has hardly been out of print since. At the Back of the North Wind is MacDonald’s only fantasy set mainly in this world. In Phantastes (1858), Anodos goes into Fairy Land and in Lilith Mr. Vane finds himself in the Region of the Seven Dimensions. In the Princess books we are in a fairy-tale realm of kings, princesses, and goblins; and the worlds of the shorter fairy tales are all full of fairies, witches, and giants. But Diamond’s story nearly all happens either in Victorian London or in other parts of the world where North Wind takes him.

  • A Horse: Macdonald's Theodicy in at the Back of the North Wind
    32 Stott This is (Not) a Horse: MacDonald’s Theodicy in At the Back of the North Wind G. St. John Stott I George MacDonald insisted in his essay “The Fantastic Imagination” that the meaning of a work should be evident to its readers. He did not mean by this that there was only one meaning to a text, or that the author’s intent in writing was privileged, but that if a reader could not make any sense of what was written and the author had to step in, something had gone wrong. Under such circumstances commentary was a mistake. As he noted, using a simple analogy, “[I]f I cannot draw a horse, I will not write THIS IS A HORSE under what I foolishly meant for one” (LP xii). We might remember this when we read in At the Back of the North Wind (1871) a conversation between what might (or might not be) two cab horses: Diamond and Ruby. It is a puzzling scene which MacDonald refuses to make clear. Cab horse conversations can be easy to understand. In Anna Sewell’s Black Beauty (1877), a work that was perhaps written as a response to At the Back of the North Wind,1 the eponymous Beauty discusses with Captain (a former army horse) the latter’s experiences in the Crimea: I said, ‘I have heard people talk about war as if it was a very fine thing.’ ‘Ah!’ said he, ‘I should think they never saw it. No doubt it is very fine when there is no enemy, when it is just exercise and parade and sham fight.

  • Cheerful Words. from the Writings of George Macdonald
    SPARE MINUTE SERIES. CHEERFUL WORDS, FROM THE WRITINGS OF GEORGE MACDONALD. SELECTED BY E. E. BROWN WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY JAMES T. FIELDS > i '"£" BOSTON^ D. LOTHROP & CO., FRANKLIN STREET CORNER OF HAWLEY. - Oh 5? Copyright by D. LOTHROP & COMPANY. 1880. INTRODUCTION. IT must be a very remote corner of America, indeed, where the writings of George MacDonald would not only be knowrv but ardently loved. David Elginbrod, Ranald Ban- nerman. Alec Forbes, Robert Falconer, and Little Diamond have many friends by this time all over the land, and are just as real personages, thousands of miles west of New York and Boston, as they are hereabouts. Now there must be some good reason for this exceptional universality of recognition, and it is not at all difficult to discern why MacDonald's characters should be welcome guests every- where. The writer who speaks through his beautiful crea- tures of imagination, imploring us to believe that " Every human heart is human. That in even savage bosoms There are longings, yearnings, strivings For the good they comprehend not. That the feeble hands and helpless Groping blindly in the darkness 3 " 4 Introduction. Touch God's right hand in that darkness And are lifted up and strengthened — that writer, if he be a master of his art, like MacDonald, will be a light and a joy in every household, however situated. It is pleasant, always, to hold up for admiration the authors who have borne witness to the eternal beauty and cheerful capabilities of the universe around us, whatever may be our own petty sufferings or discomforts ; who con- tinually teach us that Optimism is better than Pessimism, and much more moral as a conduct of life, and are lovingly reminding us, whenever they write books or poems, of the holiness of helpfulness.
