Publisher's Synopsis
A Dish of Orts is a collection of essays and lectures by George MacDonald, a Scottish author and Christian minister who lived in the 19th century. The book contains a variety of topics, ranging from theological discussions to literary criticism and personal reflections on life and faith. MacDonald's writing is known for its poetic language and deep insight into human nature, and this collection showcases his talents as a thinker and writer. The title ""A Dish of Orts"" refers to the scraps or leftovers of a meal, and MacDonald uses this metaphor to describe his own writing as a collection of fragments and musings that come together to create a whole. Overall, this book offers a fascinating glimpse into the mind of one of the most influential Christian writers of the Victorian era.Schoppe, the satiric chorus of Jean Paul's romance of Titan, makes his appearance at a certain masked ball, carrying in front of him a glass case, in which the ball is remasked, repeated, and again reflected in a mirror behind, by a set of puppets, ludicrously aping the apery of the courtiers, whose whole life and outward manifestation was but a body-mask mechanically moved with the semblance of real life and action. The court simulates reality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
