Summary "The Poetical Works of George MacDonald in Two Volumes — Volume 1" by MacDonald is a collection of poetry and dramatic works likely written in the late 19th century. This compilation reveals the author's exploration of profound themes such as spirituality, existence, and the human condition, employing rich imagery and emotional depth throughout his verses. The collection includes various forms, such as dramatic poems, sonnets, and songs that bridge the realms of the personal and the divine. The opening portion introduces the dramatic poem "Within and Without," which features Julian, a monk, grappling with his faith and the nature of his existence within the confines of a convent. As Julian reflects on the sadness of night creeping into his cell, he expresses a deep yearning for a connection with God, revealing his internal struggles of loneliness and longing. The conversation with Brother Robert depicts Julian's turmoil, highlighting the conflict between his desire for divine understanding and the perceptions of his fellow monks. This opening sets a poignant tone for the themes of introspection and the search for meaning that permeate the collection. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
