Publisher's Synopsis
Although he was a man rooted in and engaged with nineteenth-century British culture, George MacDonald was no friend of Victorian convention. As this volume demonstrates, he was part of a tradition of counter-cultural writers, teachers, theologians, and reformers - figures who stood up to injustice, fought for social change, opposed oppressive religious doctrines, and used imaginative fiction to transform individuals. These ten essays by leading MacDonald scholars explore how MacDonald participated in this counter-cultural tradition, critiquing commonplace biases and awakening individuals out of their moral and theological complacencies.
