Crossing a Great Frontier collects twenty-one hard-to-find scholarly essays about Phantastes into one convenient volume. In his comprehensive introduction, editor John Pennington describes the essays as reflecting four main perspectives about Phantastes as a religious work, a structurally coherent work, an insightful psychological work, and within its cultural/literary context.
The book's title is derived from C.S. Lewis who wrote that after reading Phantastes, he knew he had "crossed a great frontier. Lewis's praise for MacDonald influenced more people to read MacDonald. His comments, however, diminished MacDonald's reputation as a skilled writer.
Crossing a Great Frontier presents indisputable proof that Lewis underestimated the skill of his 19th century mentor. Readers will discover a multitude of insights into a book and author whose genius continues to be revealed.
"John Pennington demonstrates acute critical judgment in his selection of essays. His introduction serves to explain the various critical perspectives on MacDonald and his work, especially Phantastes. This is an indispensable book for any reader of MacDonald's fantasy, fascinating in its range and acuity of commentary." Roderick McGillis, Professor Emeritus of English, the University of Calgary, Co-editor of Phantastes by George MacDonald: Annotated Edition and Behind the Back of the North Wind: Critical Essays.
"This collection of twenty-one of the best essays on Phantastes combines straightforward literary analysis with contextual, psychological, metaphysical, alchemical and scientific approaches to the elucidation of this moving and elusive work. These essays demonstrate how much the book stimulates readers, and how many suggestive riches it contains." Colin Manlove, Author of Scotland's Forgotten Treasure: The Visionary Novels of George MacDonald.

The great Victorian Christian author George MacDonald is the wellspring of the modern fantasy genre. In this book Colin Manlove offers explorations of MacDonald's eight shorter fairy tales and his longer stories At the Back of the North Wind, The Princess and the Goblin, The Wise Woman, and The Princess and Curdie.
MacDonald saw the imagination as the source of fairy tales and of divine truth together. For he believed that God lives in the depths of the human mind and ""sends up from thence wonderful gifts into the light of the understanding."" This makes MacDonald that very rare thing: a writer of mystical fiction whose work can give us experience of the divine. Throughout his children's fantasy stories MacDonald is describing the human and divine imagination. In the shorter tales he shows how the imagination has different regions and depths, each able to shift into the other. With the longer stories we see the imagination in relation to other aspects of the self and to its position in the world. Here the imagination is portrayed as often embattled in relation to empiricism, egotism, and greed.

Описание: Roderick A. Macdonald (1948-2014), internationally renowned for his expertise on access to justice, legal pluralism, and the philosophy of law, was first and foremost a teacher and mentor. He believed in the law as a promise our society makes to itself, and passionately imparted this message to students who went on to become lawyers, judges, and academics. Throughout his career, including participation in several government commissions and tenures as dean of law at McGill University and president of the Law Commission of Canada, he strove to promote ideas that have become woven into our contemporary understanding of unity, reconciliation, accommodation, and social justice. The Unbounded Level of the Mind brings together the fascinating essays developed from presentations made at a symposium, held in February 2014 at McGill's Faculty of Law, in honour of Rod Macdonald. Eminent legal scholars from Canada and beyond explore various aspects of Macdonald's rich scholarship, reflecting on the influence this has had on their own work and its implications for the future. Organized around six cross-cutting themes – kaleidoscopic federalism, producing fairness, pluralizing the subject, the priority of distributive justice, contextualizing governance, and pursuing virtue – this volume is both a tribute to Macdonald's dedication to the law and a call to challenge all assumptions in the quest to better our society.

In this study of MacDonald's major children's novels, Lesley Willis Smith demonstrates that MacDonald is fully aware of the need to integrate the unconscious into the conscious in order to achieve mature individuation. However, for MacDonald, true maturity and fulfillment can only be gained through a relationship with God. By exploring MacDonald's integration of major biblical themes into his own myth, Smith reveals his literary genius and profound understanding of the human psyche. Readers will appreciate Smith's interaction with other leading scholarship and in the context of other works by MacDonald, especially those written during the same time period. Included are sixteen images from five illustrators of MacDonald's novels: At the Back of the North Wind, The Princess and the Goblin, and The Princess and Curdie.
This outstanding book is the first to look at George MacDonald's major fantasies for children in the light of the Bible, tracing submerged references that transform our understanding of these stories. Written in a straightforward and engaging style, the book holds the reader from first to last. Its theme is the maturation of the various protagonists of the tales, seen against a larger backcloth of death, resurrection and final judgement. Lesley Smith shows how incidents from MacDonald's personal life, often harrowing, are changed into parts of a larger holy pattern in these works. In particular she shows how the resonance of these fairy tales derives both from alchemical thought in their past, and from archetypal imagery to be described by C.G. Jung in the future. Every page of this book gives us something new or recreates the known. Above all, its humane tone gives us a MacDonald who is always immediately present, whether as wise and suffering man, or as an artist forging the new genre of fairy tale.
Colin Manlove, Author of
Scotland's Forgotten Treasure: The Visionary Novels of George MacDonald
In The Downstretched Hand, Lesley Willis Smith employs Jungian psychology, historical context, and Biblical themes and images to interpret MacDonald's three best-known children's fantasies as maturation stories dramatizing the social, emotional and spiritual growth of their protagonists. Smith analyzes each text repeatedly from different perspectives--a treatment rather like putting different filters over the same great photograph--to produce detailed and multi-layered readings that are yet unified, lucid and harmonious, Smith's book leaves a reader awed, both by MacDonald's genius as a religious fantasist and by Smith's skill as a literary exegete.
Bonnie Gaarden,
Author of The Christian Goddess: Archetype and Theology in the Fantasies of George MacDonald
Smith's easy facility with MacDonald's primary source material - the biblical text -illumines the careful crafting of these deceptively profound tales. Her thought-provoking analyses and insights will encourage further scholarship and dialogue.
