George MacDonald (ten December 1824 – 18 September 1905) was a Scottish author, poet and Christian minister. He was a pioneering figure in the field of mod fantasy literature and the mentor of fellow writer Lewis Carroll. In addition to his fairy tales, MacDonald wrote several works of Christian theology, including several collections of sermons.

His writings have been cited equally a major literary influence by many notable authors including Lewis Carroll, W. H. Auden, David Lindsay,[1] J. M. Barrie, Lord Dunsany, Elizabeth Yates, Oswald Chambers, Mark Twain, Hope Mirrlees, Robert E. Howard[ citation needed ], Fifty. Frank Baum, T. H. White, Richard Adams, Lloyd Alexander, Hilaire Belloc, One thousand.M. Chesterton, C. S. Lewis, J. R. R. Tolkien,[two] Walter de la Mare,[iii] East. Nesbit, Peter S. Beagle, Neil Gaiman and Madeleine Fifty'Engle.[ii]

C. S. Lewis wrote that he regarded MacDonald as his "master": "Picking up a copy of Phantastes one day at a railroad train-station bookstall, I began to read. A few hours afterwards, I knew that I had crossed a great frontier." One thousand. K. Chesterton cited The Princess and the Goblin as a book that had "made a difference to my whole existence".[iv]

Elizabeth Yates wrote of Sir Gibbie, "It moved me the style books did when, every bit a kid, the great gates of literature began to open and first encounters with noble thoughts and utterances were unspeakably thrilling."[five]

Even Mark Twain, who initially disliked MacDonald, became friends with him, and there is some prove that Twain was influenced by him.[half-dozen] The Christian author Oswald Chambers wrote in his "Christian Disciplines" that "it is a hit indication of the trend and shallowness of the modernistic reading public that George MacDonald's books have been so neglected".[7]

Early on life [edit]

George MacDonald was built-in on 10 December 1824 at Huntly, Aberdeenshire, Scotland. His father, a farmer, was one of the MacDonalds of Glen Coe and a straight descendant of ane of the families that suffered in the massacre of 1692.[eight] [nine]

MacDonald grew upward in an unusually literate environment: one of his maternal uncles was a notable Celtic scholar, editor of the Gaelic Highland Lexicon and collector of fairy tales and Celtic poetry. His paternal grandfather had supported the publication of an Ossian edition, the controversial Celtic text believed by some to have contributed to the starting of European Romanticism. MacDonald's step-uncle was a Shakespeare scholar, and his paternal cousin another Celtic academic. Both his parents were readers, his father harbouring predilections for Newton, Burns, Cowper, Chalmers, Coleridge, and Darwin, to quote a few, while his mother had received a classical education which included multiple languages.[10]

An account cited how the young George suffered lapses in health in his early on years and was subject area to problems with his lungs such as asthma, bronchitis and even a tour of tuberculosis.[11] This last illness was considered a family affliction and two of MacDonald'southward brothers, his mother, and later three of his own children actually died from the ailment.[12] Even in his adult life, he was constantly travelling in search of purer air for his lungs.[13]

MacDonald grew up in the Congregational Church, with an temper of Calvinism. However, his family unit was atypical, with his paternal granddad a Catholic-born, fiddle-playing, Presbyterian elder; his paternal grandmother an Independent church rebel; his mother was a sister to the Gaelic-speaking radical who became moderator of the disrupting Free Church building, while his step-mother, to whom he was also very close, was the daughter of a Scottish Episcopalian priest.[10]

MacDonald graduated from the University of Aberdeen in 1845 with a master'southward caste in chemistry and physics.[14] He spent the side by side several years struggling with matters of religion and deciding what to do with his life.[15] His son, biographer Greville MacDonald, stated that his father could have pursued a career in the medical field merely he speculated that lack of money put an finish to this prospect.[16] Information technology was only in 1848 that MacDonald began theological training at Highbury Higher for the Congregational ministry.[vi] [17]

Early career [edit]

MacDonald was appointed minister of Trinity Congregational Church, Arundel, in 1850,[6] [17] after briefly serving equally a locum minister in Ireland.[15] Nonetheless, his sermons—which preached God'due south universal love and that anybody was capable of redemption—met with little favour[eighteen] and his bacon was cut in half.[half dozen] In May 1853, MacDonald tendered his resignation from his pastoral duties at Arundel.[19] Subsequently he was engaged in ministerial work in Manchester, leaving that because of poor health.[half dozen] An account cited the role of Lady Byron in convincing MacDonald to travel to Algiers in 1856 with the promise that the sojourn would help plough his wellness around.[19] When he got dorsum, he settled in London and taught for some time at the University of London.[half dozen] MacDonald was likewise for a time editor of Good Words for the Immature.

Writing career [edit]

MacDonald'due south first novel David Elginbrod was published in 1863.[eighteen]

MacDonald is often regarded equally the founding father of modern fantasy writing.[18] His best-known works are Phantastes, The Princess and the Goblin, At the Back of the North Wind, and Lilith (1895), all fantasy novels, and fairy tales such equally "The Light Princess", "The Gold Fundamental", and "The Wise Woman". "I write, not for children", he wrote, "but for the child-like, whether they be of five, or fifty, or seventy-five."[20] MacDonald also published some volumes of sermons, the pulpit non having proved an unreservedly successful venue.[6]

After his literary success, MacDonald went on to do a lecture bout in the U.s. in 1872–1873, after beingness invited to exercise so past a lecture company, the Boston Lyceum Agency. On the tour, MacDonald lectured about other poets such as Robert Burns, Shakespeare, and Tom Hood. He performed this lecture to great acclaim, speaking in Boston to crowds in the neighbourhood of three thousand people.[21]

MacDonald served equally a mentor to Lewis Carroll: it was MacDonald's advice, and the enthusiastic reception of Alice by MacDonald's many sons and daughters, that convinced Carroll to submit Alice for publication.[22] Carroll, one of the finest Victorian photographers, also created photographic portraits of several of the MacDonald children.[23] MacDonald was also friends with John Ruskin, and served equally a go-betwixt in Ruskin's long courting with Rose La Touche.[22] While in America he was befriended by Longfellow and Walt Whitman.[24]

MacDonald'southward use of fantasy as a literary medium for exploring the human condition greatly influenced a generation of notable authors, including C. South. Lewis, who featured him as a character in his The Great Divorce.[25] In his introduction to his MacDonald anthology, Lewis speaks highly of MacDonald's views:

This collection, as I have said, was designed not to revive MacDonald's literary reputation merely to spread his religious teaching. Hence virtually of my extracts are taken from the three volumes of Unspoken Sermons. My own debt to this book is almost as great as one man can owe to another: and nearly all serious inquirers to whom I have introduced it acknowledge that it has given them smashing help—sometimes indispensable assist toward the very acceptance of the Christian religion. ...

I know hardly any other writer who seems to be closer, or more than continually close, to the Spirit of Christ Himself. Hence his Christ-similar matrimony of tenderness and severity. Nowhere else outside the New Testament have I found terror and condolement and then intertwined. ...

In making this collection I was discharging a debt of justice. I accept never concealed the fact that I regarded him equally my chief; indeed I fancy I accept never written a book in which I did not quote from him. But information technology has not seemed to me that those who have received my books kindly accept even at present sufficient observe of the affiliation. Honesty drives me to emphasize information technology.[26]

Others he influenced include J. R. R. Tolkien and Madeleine 50'Engle.[10] [half dozen] MacDonald's non-fantasy novels, such as Alec Forbes, had their influence besides; they were among the start realistic Scottish novels, and as such MacDonald has been credited with founding the "kailyard schoolhouse" of Scottish writing.[27]

Chesterton cited The Princess and the Goblin every bit a volume that had "made a difference to my whole being",[iv] in showing "how about both the best and the worst things are to us from the first ... and making all the ordinary staircases and doors and windows into magical things." [28]

Later life [edit]

In 1877 he was given a civil list alimony.[29] From 1879 he and his family lived in Bordighera,[30] in a place much loved by British expatriates, the Riviera dei Fiori in Liguria, Italy, almost on the French border. In that locality there also was an Anglican church, All Saints, which he attended.[31] Deeply enamoured of the Riviera, he spent 20 years at that place, writing almost one-half of his whole literary production, particularly the fantasy work.[32] MacDonald founded a literary studio in that Ligurian town, naming it Casa Coraggio (Bravery House).[33] It soon became ane of the near renowned cultural centres of that period, well attended by British and Italian travellers, and by locals,[34] with presentations of classic plays and readings of Dante and Shakespeare frequently being held.[35]

In 1900 he moved into St George's Wood, Haslemere, a house designed for him by his son, Robert, its building overseen by his eldest son, Greville.[36]

George MacDonald died on 18 September 1905 in Ashtead, Surrey, England.[36] He was cremated in Woking, Surrey, and his ashes were cached in Bordighera, in the English cemetery, along with his married woman Louisa and daughters Lilia and Grace.[36]

Personal life [edit]

MacDonald married Louisa Powell in Hackney in 1851, with whom he raised a family unit of eleven children: Lilia Scott (1852), Mary Josephine (1853–1878), Caroline Grace (1854), Greville Matheson (1856–1944), Irene (1857), Winifred Louise (1858), Ronald (1860–1933), Robert Falconer (1862–1913), Maurice (1864), Bernard Powell (1865–1928), and George Mackay (1867–1909?).

His son Greville became a noted medical specialist, a pioneer of the Peasant Arts movement, wrote numerous fairy tales for children, and ensured that new editions of his father'due south works were published.[37] Some other son, Ronald, became a novelist.[38] His daughter Mary was engaged to the creative person Edward Robert Hughes until her decease in 1878. Ronald's son, Philip MacDonald (George MacDonald's grandson), became a Hollywood screenwriter.[39]

Tuberculosis caused the decease of several family members, including Lilia, Mary Josephine, Grace, Maurice besides as ane granddaughter and a girl-in-law.[40] MacDonald was said to have been particularly affected by the death of Lilia, his eldest.

There is a bluish plaque on his home at 20 Albert Street, Camden, London.

Theology [edit]

According to biographer William Raeper, MacDonald'south theology "celebrated the rediscovery of God equally Father, and sought to encourage an intuitive response to God and Christ through quickening his readers' spirits in their reading of the Bible and their perception of nature."[41]

MacDonald's oft-mentioned universalism is not the idea that everyone will automatically be saved, simply is closer to Gregory of Nyssa in the view that all will ultimately repent and be restored to God.[42]

MacDonald appears to accept never felt comfy with some aspects of Calvinist doctrine, feeling that its principles were inherently "unfair";[22] when the doctrine of predestination was first explained to him, he outburst into tears (although bodacious that he was one of the elect).[ citation needed ] Afterward novels, such as Robert Falconer and Lilith, bear witness a distaste for the idea that God's electing love is express to some and denied to others.[ citation needed ]

Chesterton noted that merely a human who had "escaped" Calvinism could say that God is easy to delight and hard to satisfy.[ clarification needed ] [28]

MacDonald rejected the doctrine of penal substitutionary atonement as developed by John Calvin, which argues that Christ has taken the place of sinners and is punished past the wrath of God in their identify, believing that in turn it raised serious questions about the grapheme and nature of God.[ commendation needed ] Instead, he taught that Christ had come up to save people from their sins, and not from a Divine penalisation for their sins: the problem was not the need to appease a wrathful God, simply the disease of cosmic evil itself.[ commendation needed ] MacDonald frequently described the atonement in terms like to the Christus Victor theory.[ clarification needed ] [ citation needed ] MacDonald posed the rhetorical question, "Did he not foil and slay evil past letting all the waves and billows of its horrid body of water break upon him, get over him, and dice without rebound—spend their rage, fall defeated, and cease? Verily, he made amende!"[43]

MacDonald was convinced that God does not punish except to meliorate, and that the sole cease of His greatest acrimony is the amelioration of the guilty.[44] Equally the doctor uses fire and steel in sure deep-seated diseases, so God may use hell-burn down if necessary to heal the hardened sinner. MacDonald declared, "I believe that no hell volition be lacking which would help the just mercy of God to redeem his children."[45] MacDonald posed the rhetorical question, "When we say that God is Beloved, practice we teach men that their fear of Him is baseless?" He replied, "No. As much as they were will come upon them, mayhap far more. ... The wrath volition consume what they call themselves; so that the selves God made shall appear."[46]

Even so, truthful repentance, in the sense of freely chosen moral growth, is essential to this process, and, in MacDonald's optimistic view, inevitable for all beings (see universal reconciliation).[ citation needed ]

MacDonald states his theological views most distinctly in the sermon "Justice", found in the third volume of Unspoken Sermons.[47]
