About this book
George MacDonald treats imagination as a means of giving shape to thought and understanding the world. In this 1893 collection, essays on education and literary art connect that faculty with faith, nature and poetry. The opening discussion argues for learning that keeps the mind active and curious. MacDonald then draws on Shelley to explain how a poet brings familiar forms together to express an idea.
His readings of Shakespeare carry this interest into the details of dramatic character and speech. Lady Macbeth's troubled inner life becomes an example of imagination at work, while Casca's poetic language in Julius Caesar is considered alongside the storm surrounding him. The contents also include papers on literary forms, individual development and the fantastic imagination. For readers interested in literary criticism shaped by religious belief, these essays show how close attention to a passage can lead to broader claims about thought and artistic expression.
