George MacDonald: A Biographical and Critical Appreciation

Written by George MacDonald’s close friend Joseph Johnson, George MacDonald: A Biographical and Critical Appreciation examines the various public roles MacDonald occupied during his life. Johnson begins with an examination of MacDonald’s early and formative years, then shifts to examine his writing, ideas, and achievements. Predominantly concerned with intellectual matters, the author intentionally avoids MacDonald’s private life out of respect for MacDonald’s wishes to keep his family away from the public eye.
