A Dish of Orts: Chiefly Papers on the Imagination, and on Shakespeare
'A Dish of Orts: Chiefly Papers on the Imagination, and on Shakespeare' Summary
Readers of George MacDonald are used to his engaging story-telling, winsome characters, and simple theology of trust in God as Father. But this book shows a different side of MacDonald. A Dish of Orts is a varied collection of essays, mostly in the nature of literary criticism. These essays are, in MacDonald's words, "but fragmentary presentments of larger meditation."
