In the context of Victorian literature, MacDonald's work stands out for its unique blend of fantasy and religious themes, paving the way for later authors like C.S. Lewis and J.R.R. Tolkien.

George MacDonald (1824–1905) was a pioneering figure in the field of fantasy literature and a mentor to fellow writer Lewis Carroll. His work, characterized by its use of fantasy to convey moral and spiritual truths, has been a significant influence on many later authors, including C.S. Lewis, who considered him his 'master.' Born in Huntly, Aberdeenshire, Scotland, MacDonald originally trained for the ministry but turned to writing as a vocation after finding himself at odds with the doctrinal positions of his time. MacDonald's storytelling skill and command of the English language are evident in books such as 'England's Antiphon,' which explores the religious poetic expressions of England through its history. This reflects his deep love for poetry, theology, and spirituality, presenting a rich tapestry of English devotion through verse. Among his other notable works are the fantasy novels 'Phantastes' (1858) and 'The Princess and the Goblin' (1872), both of which display his unique ability to blend otherworldly elements with moral and religious undertones. MacDonald's prolific literary output, including fantasy, fairy tales, novels, and sermons, continues to be studied for its thematic complexity and innovative use of genre. His works pave the way for modern fantasy, and his influence continues to be felt in literature today.
