Dish of Orts: Chiefly Papers on the Imagination, and on Shakespeare

by George MacDonald

English· 10:07:53· 18 chapters
Readers of George MacDonald are used to his engaging story-telling, winsome characters, and simple theology of trust in God as Father. But this book shows a different side of MacDonald. A Dish of Orts is a varied collection of essays, mostly in the nature of literary criticism. These essays are, in MacDonald's words, "but fragmentary presentments of larger meditation." - Summary by Devorah Allen
