leesmyth's review against another edition

4.0

I particularly liked the essays by Trevor Hart (imagination and humanity in MacDonald), Bethany Bear Hebbard (MacDonald, Lewis & literary criticism), Sharin Schroeder (fairy stories and belief in Lang and Tolkien), and Monika Hilder (looking at some aspects of gender in Lewis and MacDonald).

Two or three of the essays really fell short of their promise, however, and in others I noted some irksome glitches, such as "poured over" for "pored over" and "trouver" for (I assume) either "trouveur" (which seems most appropriate to me) or "trouvère" (which seems to be the term MacDonald used).
