- Synopsis
- A triumphant quest for the truth. First in the Wingfold Trilogy from the 19th-century Scottish author of Paul Faber Surgeon and There and Back. The character of Thomas Wingfold is introduced in this preeminent of George MacDonald&’s English novels, a young curate suddenly brought face-to-face with the hypocrisy of having sought the pulpit as a profession rather than a spiritual calling. Wingfold&’s prayerful journey into faith highlights MacDonald&’s most powerful &“theological novel.&” We also meet the dwarf Joseph Polwarth, Wingfold&’s spiritual mentor and one of MacDonald&’s most memorable humble apologists for truth. The depth and poignancy of Wingfold&’s quest makes this 1876 publication one of MacDonald&’s best-loved works. MacDonald biographer and editor Michael Phillips ranks Thomas Wingfold Curate near the apex of MacDonald&’s corpus, among his personal favorites along with Malcolm, Sir Gibbie, and Donal Grant.
