GEORGE MACDONALD
RAMPOLI: POEMS FROM MAINLY GERMAN
Edited by Carol Appleby
This collection of mainly German poets includes giants such as Schiller, Goethe, Heine, Novalis, Petrarch and Milton. George MacDonald is one of the great translators of poetry, as Novalis' 'Hymns To the Night' (printed in its entirety) shows here.
Scottish fantasist George MacDonald (1824-95) included Lewis Carroll and John Ruskin among his literary friends. His well-known works were Phantastes (1858), Lilith (1895), Bannerman's Boyhood and the Curdie children's stories: The Princess and the Goblin (1872) and The Princess and Curdie (1882). MacDonald's books were a significant influence on both J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis.
Illustrated. 148 pages.
