Details

Phantastes, penned by George MacDonald in 1858, is a fantasy tale that follows Anodos, whose name means 'pathless' or 'ascent' in Greek. The novel draws on German Romanticism, especially Novalis, and centers on a young man who is drawn into a dreamlike realm where he pursues his vision of an idealized feminine beauty, represented by the 'Marble Lady.'
