Orts are scraps, and MacDonald offers these papers modestly, but they include his long essay on the imagination and its culture, studies of Hamlet and of Shakespeare’s art, appreciations of Wordsworth, Shelley and Browning, a sermon, and The Fantastic Imagination, his short statement of what a fairy tale is and how it should be read.
Essential for readers of MacDonald’s fantasies and of the Victorian theory of imagination that shaped Lewis and Tolkien. Download the free EPUB.
