George MacDonald 1824-1905) The great nineteenth-century innovator of modern fantasy, whose works influenced C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien, and Charles Williams. "I do not write for children," MacDonald once said, "but for the childlike, whether of five, or fifty, or seventy-five."
W. H. Auden
"George MacDonald is pre-eminently a mythopoeic writer. . . In his
power to project his inner life into images, beings, landscapes
which are valid for all, he is one of the most remarkable writers
of the nineteenth century." C. S. Lewis
"What George MacDonald does best is fantasy -- fantasy that hovers
between the allegorical and the mythopoeic. And this, in my
opinion, he does better than any man." Madeleine L'Engle
"Surely George MacDonald is the grandfather of us all -- all of us
who struggle to come to terms with truth through fantasy."
